For his third Book Fairthe village ofAutheuil-Authouilletin the Eure valley, near Gaillon, pulled off a nice coup by attracting two big names from the literary world in addition to the 36 Norman authors invited, Thursday June 27, 2024.
In fact, the Library-Media Library and the municipality have achieved the feat of being able to count Michel Bussi And Bernard Minier during the event which will follow, as is now the tradition, the school prize giving ceremony.
“We are very happy to be able to welcome two big names who will, we hope, attract readers,” emphasize Réjane Toussaint, responsible for the BM2A and Denis Noelthe mayor.
Michel Bussi, at home
Michel Bussi, Loverian writer of best-selling books with national resonance, has strong links with this village in the Eure valley. In September 2017, he came to inaugurate the new village media library then, in June 2022, the author of New Babel, was already the guest of honor at the first edition of the show. The one whose sister, Isabelle, lives in Autheuil-Authouillet, will therefore come to present his latest work on Thursday: My Heart is movingreleased in January.
A debate between the two authors
With all these links with the village, Michel Bussi helped the organizers to convince his friend Bernard Minieralso author of detective novels which sell thousands of copies including Iceto accompany him to the Eure valley next Thursday.
In addition to discussing his latest novel with readers, An eye in the night, the writer from Béziers will debate with Michel Bussi about how to construct stories. A time for discussion which will be hosted by Frédéric Julien.
38 writers featured
Other authors can rest assured, the organizers have planned the parade so that these two headliners do not monopolize the attention of visitors. “As we now have around thirty guests, we are going to open an additional room in the library,” says Réjane Toussaint. “In one, there will be Michel Bussi, in the other, Bernard Minier. This will prevent them from spending their time talking together,” laughs Denis Noël.
For readers who are not aficionados of thrillers or detective novels, they can rest assured: “Like every year, there will be something for everyone. Among the regional authors that we invite, there are some who write novels, children’s books, but also comics, essays or poetry,” explains Réjane Toussaint.
