And here we are, of deadline by deadline, meeting commercial sales meeting and instructed to put the Office in setting the direction of motion, for several weeks now in full preparation intense "the literary season. Hence my relative silence here, inversely proportional to my overheating elsewhere. In
Laureli three forthcoming books, and I'm the wheel before my solo pack Adobe, so I'm proud:
Matamoros No. 29 of Alain Farah, the forthcoming September 1: the book was already published two years ago at Quartanier but not widely distributed, unfortunately, over here - as I have all the trouble in the world to disseminate Laurel Quebec ... So, with Eric of Larochellière - Quartanier editor - it was decided otherwise. As we admire each other's catalogs, well, we'll publish some authors. So very soon, CIVIL of Daniel Foucard at Quartanier. And No. 29 Matamore therefore Alain Farah, in Laurel. I mentioned it here upon its release - finally, after quite some time, with my usual late readings, whatever. That, for me, a major book and a major author. Alain Farah will spend ten days in Paris when the book came out, the opportunity for you, readers, journalists, to meet him at events that I am trying to organize ... I will keep you informed of course;
Chants of magnetic Claire & Billy Corgan Fercak , to be published on September 15 ;
Writers series in "season 2" , even thicker than the "season 1"! to be published on October 20 .
(All forms of presentation will be online soon here.)
I'm in comp Chants of magnetic Fercak Claire & Billy Corgan. A wonderful adventure as this. Yes, this Billy Corgan is well on Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins. Claire met him while writing his book Smashing Pumpkins: Tarantula Box Set (The word and the rest, 2008), and the idea of writing this duo was born. It should be noted that Billy is also a writer. 
He has published in the United States: Blinking With Fists (Faber and Faber, 2004), a book of poetry that has appeared on best-seller lists of The New York Times - it deserves still to be stressed is not so common for a book of poetry ... We then saw all three, and Billy was not horrified by my disgusting English above - I have a friend who me said I looked like Louis de Funes when I was talking with Americans, because I mime two thirds of the stuff ... So you can imagine what it can give when it comes to evoking the precise terms of publishing ... - we had discovered a lot of common musical and literary addiction, I was stunned by his extreme gentleness, his simplicity ... He even gave me advice for musical composition ... In short, a real good meeting, a trio of affinities, and that these songs magnetic , two stories that answer: the nymph Echo fallen that have transformed its gossip phenomenon in sound disembodied, tragically in love with the unattainable Narcissus. Medea the sorceress murderous, repudiated by Jason, will invent weapons to wreak barbaric vengeance. Estelle Degez conducted a preliminary translation of the text in English to Claire that Billy has access to all its subtleties. Nathalie Bru then translates the text of Billy Corgan in French, for the book.
The cover image you find here was conducted by Danny Steve - who had earlier appealed for Writers series in "season 1" ... and will also create coverage of the "season 2" - who also designed two interior illustrations, with the same technique but in black and white. I am a big fan because I think it happens to hold the exact ambivalence expressed in the book, with its base of light and sky of flesh, hollow eyes of her nymphs: cruelty / kindness, desire / dread ... I kept my usual cast of titration, Peignot, but the " vaguelisant "not too hit the drawing of Danny and keep the sensation of movement. 
The issue of domestic iron flowed from source: an Old Face, of course. The wheelbase lens, slight tear. I finally decided, well cryptocratylienne for Centaur. And then made mumuse with some footnotes appear in the text of Claire, too. As they all refer to Metamorphoses of Ovid, I opted for the more ornamental than for academic efficiency. For the text of Billy, I totally made that fart the drop cap, I believe, goes well with his dark tale atmosphere ... So, now that you have a vague glimpse behind the scenes, you do that to discover the book - you're lucky! - At your favorite bookseller, September 15.
