Around forty authors presented their works during the 8th Book Fair at the socio-cultural center.
Novels, comics, thrillers, children's books, thrillers, collections of poems, autobiographical stories allowed the public passionate about culture and reading to have a good time, to interact with the authors and even have their work signed.
The author Nicole Malassagne, a regular at the show, said: “I have always been fascinated by writing but between my very busy job as a French teacher, the children, the house, I didn't have the time, I often said I was retiring, so I started my first book at that time, but I wasn't satisfied with the result, I couldn't help but be too analytical, it seemed like I was correcting a copy, an opportunity, it was presented to me, I I worked for a while with a judge, this was a trigger, more analysis of what I wrote, giving free rein to my pen, today I have written eight works, and the 9th is in the process of being published, writing is a passion. “
No guest of honor this year
Huguette Sartre, departmental advisor, accompanied by Mr. Coulomb, first deputy and Mr. Zanone, security deputy, underlined: “This year there is no guest of honor, because you all deserve to be, this year, we have two new ones and a little Red Riding Hood. This day is an opportunity to meet and share around 'a passion, reading which allows everyone to give free rein to their imagination.
-It’s an annual event to which we are very attached.”
A show which ended in mixed fashion, good quality and diversity in terms of authors, but a drop in attendance from the public.
