Hyperpigmentation Makeup
Received two days ago in my mailbox from the Bookstore Humor ink Montreuil.
Friday 29 January, we were to receive Yanick Lahens. She stayed close to his family in Haiti. However, we maintained the evening, and tried to breathe life into his work. After reading (very fine, incidentally), we discussed with Sabine Wespieser, its editor. Sabine read a letter Yanick. This letter, all persons present wished to receive it. With this shipment, it will be done. But to those who were not present, I would advice: read this letter, this example of humanity, this definition of literature.How to write and what to write?
I'm not with you today. I am very sorry. But you will understand that the earthquake of January 12, holds me still in my country in the middle of mine. This event is stressful if it is unable to extinguish the writer in me that arises now more than ever following questions: what to write and how to write?
I started to chronicle a simple accounting of facts and a description that I wanted the most accurate damage. And of course distress. That distant strangers cross the street, in shelters, in hospitals and the nearest neighbor which we followed impotent, the slow agony under the rubble of the Ministry of Justice, that this young woman we have hosted and every morning until nightfall went to this hotel that collapsed to finally locate the rubble after ten days the mobile phone of her husband right next to his hand and then his body five days later.
I started doing it and had to be done. And then came two images remind me and convince me that my role as a writer could not be reduced to a macabre accounting or transcription of a simple fact, but was to invent a world that amplifies or extends resonates precisely this .
The first image is that of a child out of the rubble, arms raised to heaven, a smile like a fruit in season and told his mother "I'm thirsty and I Hunger ". The second is that of a young girl on the outskirts of a market three days after the earthquake is braiding hair and looks in a mirror. I liked this boy who said yes to life, which was almost a foot from nose to misfortune and looked to the future with the Suns in the eye. For the second image I told myself that when the girls still want to be nice to run in front of desire and words on edge, all hope is not lost. Both brought me back to an essential truth: do not celebrate life in spite of everything, do not be transformed by art or literature, it is us to strike a second time by the disaster.
So I had to hurry back all these feelings that I know only too well to my white sheet and my keyboard. First one to be late on life. Then that of wanting to turn around the same questions. In attempting to provide answers to some form, other substantive issues, knowing that I will bring only temporary answers always called to renew. Like the force, that it requires. Because writing is not just write down words, "we must be stronger than the writing itself to address, must be stronger than what we write. " I'm trying hard these days to accumulate a little of that strength to transcend the event and get back to my readers with words that will touch them as hands.

Light Period For 2 Weeks Before Period
I do not wish to enter into polemics with the Maritime Prefect expresses very well his taste on his alamblog , Especially as we agree on many books including those of Céline Minard. But I find the stick a little stronger and make me deal in turn starling kangaroo and tracassin saddens me a little I must admit.
Bastard Battle did not have the same impact on me qu'Olimpia was certainly a lack of Japanese culture and medieval ... they blame me, I'm just being honest in expressing my favorites and have no accountability.
What annoys me a little more taxing this make me a follower of the "parochial debate in which sticky writhe decades languages as wood alcohol literature, small dropper pen, tracassins the imagination. "It gives me a horrifying discovery, I do not know where this reader, for whom" writing you Woua.
I therefore invite On this page the host of the upcoming Alamblog clarify the concept of "me for writing you Woua" which seems obscure.
I have no doubt that we arrived, provided it is constructive to give read a very rewarding conversation on contemporary literature. An open conversation that I hear open to all, of course.

Connecting The Powered Subwoofer Jvc
Céline Minard Olimpia succeeds in what she had missed in my taste with Bastard Battle in its work of blasting the language. Where this does not work with the language of the Middle Ages comes here with the game on the baroque an explosion, it goes in all directions and it hits every time. That's right, deep and strong. Baroque allows all the excesses and outrages inflicted Minard language.
Maidalchini Olimpia (1592-1657) seems to be an extraordinary figure for a novelist, born of nothing she climbs out of sheer ambition and lust for power at the highest rank of his time (in an alcove behind the throne of Pope Innocent X) it becomes popess instead of the pope. But that kind of power in Shadow does not support the light and the pope's death, he lost more than she had throughout her life.
Minard's novel is entirely in a monologue, and a short biography that has artfully put the figure in perspective. There is a great job on the inside and outside character who dares to go after his madness.
Roman short, is a diatribe of Olimpia logorrhea violent and hateful against this world she thought control. The monologue draws its strength from the hatred and anger, deep in the body of a woman who has lost everything. The violence of his remarks is proportionately equal to that world of power that comes from collapsing to escape at his feet.
Olimpia when she talks about is a broken woman, her tongue is made of flesh and sweat and blood, it stinks as strong as the rage that inhabits it. There is in the words of Olimpia, which are of great violence a heady and intoxicating hypnotic power.
