The La Grande-Motte se livre trade show closed its third edition at the Palais des Congrès this Sunday, October 20. An event that has now become a must for the city’s cultural return. Around twenty authors for signing sessions, literary meetings and activities intended for the whole family were present. The opportunity to make young people want to read. A mission that Hubert Ben Kemoun has set for himself: “Before the show, I met schoolchildren and college students from Grand-Mott. I explained to them my work as an author and introduced them to my way of working and my typescripts.” As a reminder, a typescript designates a text written using a typewriter or a computer, which distinguishes it from a manuscript, an original document written by hand. “I am a kleptomaniac of children’s ideas and lives. The characters in my Books ask themselves the same questions as them”says Hubert mischievously.
Children’s literature
After having written dramas for radio and theater for a long time, he has been publishing works in children’s literature for a little over thirty years. As for Philippe Larbier, the father of the famous series Les petits mythos created in 2012 with screenwriter Christophe Cazenove, he came to present his latest published work, Greece anatomy, published by Bamboo. A series of humorous comics where he caricatures the gods and heroes of Greco-Roman mythology. “My curse is to have ended up looking like my creature”laughs the designer, while dedicating his books to the delighted visitors.
Philippe Ug is both a paper engineer and a screen printer. He is a passionate and exciting creator of pop-up books. “All my delicacy, I put it in my books,” reveals the author of more than 200 titles for more than 20 years. In his hands, the paper object becomes a work of art. Between discussions and favorites, many visitors left with a few signed books under their arms.
Precision. An error has crept into the newspaper page of October 20. The article on the town’s book fair appeared in the town of Maugio-Carnon, but it takes place in La Grande-Motte. Our apologies to those affected.
