AThe author Georges Vierne came to meet readers at the town library, to draw out the thread of what pushes him to write.
“I started writing as soon as I retired The need to tell about my professional life as a controller at the Mutualité sociale agricole, not easy every day, need to put controls, fraud but also support and help at a distance to farmers in difficulty. I did it without embellishment in the form of anecdotes. I had a certain success and I continued, I got into the game. I wrote about my father who died at the same time, about this great void, about a stiff life between the mine and the Cévennes mountains to understand and show him my gratitude posthumously and I continued always concerned about the family unit and what goes on there, by the mine, the firedamp, the agricultural world, disability, human adventures in general. I have dual nationality. I am both a Raïolo and a Rachalan, a man from the Cévennes and the Garrigue.”
Georges Vierne is also a fabulous storyteller, a man committed to farmers by creating an administrative and fiscal assistance association for them, within his commune Marguerittes where as an elected official he promotes culture and heritage.
