MY FAVORITE WRITTER IN FRANCE IN APRIL 2014

James Ellroy, flag bearer polar Lyon

The American writer will be the special of the tenth edition of the Lyon literary festival in 2014 prompted. Participation confirms the popularity of a genre celebrated with great pomp in the capital of the Gauls.
The organizers of cultural events in Lyon seized the shoe technique for large fish . After Quentin Tarantino for the Light festival , dedicated to the cinema , this time it is the programmers Quais du Polar , who took in their nets James Ellroy . Prominent figure of noir , it will celebrate the literature of this kind from 4 to 6 April between the Rhone and Saone. The author of the best- sellerstels that The Black Dahlia and LA Confidential, if sometimes elusive , is considered one of the leading figures of the roman noir . For thirty years , he likes to treat dark hours of the United States , through stories of gangsters, crooked cops more or less tormented and women . In Lyon , the American succeeds , as a guest of prestige, Harlan Coben (2013 ), John Connolly (2012) and David Peace (2011). This year , other authors have been invited as the Scandinavian novelist Camilla Läckberg , South African Deon Meyer or American Craig Johnson.
Do not expect to talk to him he can be very nice or as is often the case, very stupid. I once met with me he had been really cool.

VAN GOGH : THE LIFE

BY

STEVEN NAIFEH AND GREGORY WHITE SMITH

The ultimate biography of Vincent Van Gogh has been published in French . Output there 2 years in the United States, its publication was highly awaited by all fans of the painter. The two authors , Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith , received the Pulitzer Prize for this work unusual over 1200 pages , the result of 10 years of research . The book was hailed by the curator of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam as "the definitive biography on the subject ."

The title is simple " Van Gogh " , as was the painter , since it often signed his paintings "Vincent" .

But the most interesting in this book is that it debunks many bond idea received on the Dutch painter , here are a few: Van Gogh was not crazy and especially turn of events, he would not commit suicide but was killed by two children. This last assumption is quite credible because remember, the revolver with which the painter is supposed to have committed suicide was never found.

If like me you 're a fan of Van Gogh run buy it, you will not be disappointed . Happy reading and Merry Christmas to all ! !

UNDER THE DOME

Seeing the poverty of the series I can only strongly advise you to read these two books are excellent. Unlike the series the book is flat , it fails to be truly captivated until the last episodes yet . The television characters have only 1 /1000 of barbarism they have in the book ( murders , rape ... ) . The character whose bad sides are ignored and I think that is blatantly Jim "Big" Rennie who becomes responsible for the city after the onset of the dome. That of his son James Rennie "Junior" also goes out the window . Many events, necessary for the understanding of history are forgotten, voluntarily or not, and replaced by others without much interest . In fact, a woman and her baby (a boy ) and plays a major role in the book are replaced by a woman who gives birth to a daughter but the book never existed .
Briefly read the book and the series will seem an almost laughable stupidity.
Probably one of the best books of Stephen King. :)
