It has been in dedication since this Friday, November 8, to meet the readers of Corrèze. Eric Neuhoff presents, or rather reissues, for this 46th edition of the Brive Book Fair, a work entitled “Open letter to François Truffaut”, at Albin Michel.
Forty years after the filmmaker's death, this dedicated work is not the first, but the writer justifies this new publication: “Truffaut is still there. His films speak to us of a time when freedom, romance, passed by in 24 frames-second. Truffaut, yes, we miss his voice, his knitted ties. Tons of books have been dedicated to him. They didn't manage to put us off.”
Eric Neuhoff will be Jérôme Piperaud's guest for this mid-day newscast live from the Fair. The opportunity also to take stock of the attendance at midday and the first signings on Saturday morning with many expected authors such as Gaël Faye or faithful writers such as Amélie Nothomb.
Born in 1956, journalist at Le Figaro and “Mask and the Feather”Eric Neuhoff won the Prix des Deux Magots in 1996 for “Cotton candy”the Interallié prize in 1997 for “The little French girl”the Grand Prix du Novel of the French Academy in 2001 for “A crazy good thing”the Cazes prize in 2017 for “Costa Brava“, and the Renaudot Essay 2019 for “(Very) Dear French cinema”.
