BOURDELAIS Lawrence, the author.
medievalist by training, Professor of History, Lawrence Bourdelas, born in 1962, is a literary critic and dramatic. Author of numerous books, a photographer, he directed the literary magazine The unspeakable border and encounters "Magazines and blah blah blah" in Limoges. It is what we learned back cover of the book. We can add in terms of Vache Qui Lit, Laurent Bourdelas offered us two years to participate at the "Magazine and blah blah blah." This event was the subject an article on the latest issue of the Cow (June 2007 No. 85). I remember it was I who held the stand. Both times. I insist a little on my attendance at such events as the 2006 meeting, the Pavilion Verdurier was "disturbed" by the "invasion" very peaceful, all in all, pretty nice of the Collective of Undocumented who have found a place to listen to their demands fully justified. Lawrence Bourdelas at their head, most participants with good grace, interrupted the meeting to accommodate those families distraught. It allowed me personally see that this guy has not only the love of beautiful writing, poetry and text, respect for others and sense of hospitality, but also a sense of justice, fight and the position. The 2007 show has migrated Pavilion Verdurier to the library and multimedia enabled us to meetings, "looper" informal are the salt of such events. It has been awaken our memories after the expo press subversive 70s (I can not remember the exact title). I would add about the author's gift he gave us a very fine editorial (VQL No. 82) in which he lambasted the neo-fascist ideas that seem to emerge from their dens in hollow foul which they ruminated. Lawrence feared that such ideas could be reflected in the 2007 presidential elections. But all that is past and the Cow is not about politics, eh!
PARIS.
Many writers are immediately associated with a place, a city. We have often talked about and the themes "city literature" or "polar city" have been the subject of numerous debates and studies. Paris is one of those cities that have fascinated writers. I will not get into a list of names, it would be too long, too boring, and I am afraid of forgetting. Again, let us go into this wandering in the middle of a Paris that all the protagonists of this work (Lawrence, Leo Nestor, at least) seem to know much better than ourselves and in all its many facets. writers who, unable to "break" in poetry, whereas the thriller as "in literature," were committed in the genre for "boil the pot", according to G. Simenon. Nevertheless, despite the pans that dragging (trolling yet?) crime fiction, this is the pot then that Leo Malet succeeds. It will, of course, as was common at the time, finding American-sounding surname (Leo Latimer, Frank Harding) and telling stories well glaucous. Again, for my part, I often refer to the three volumes that are part of the Library of the lover of noir: THE TRILOGY BLACK: 1 - Life is disgusting 2 - The sun is not for us 3 - Sweat The guts Ed DILIPO 10/18 (Dictionary of Literature Policewomen - Ed Joseph. K) of C. Mesplède gives us a lot information about the author Leo Malet: how he lived, how he died. Lawrence's book informs Bourdelas whoever wants to come. But all that's known! Cow and only interested in breaking news, eh! There is of course a fourth reading, a common thread: Nestor Burma, Bon. Read the book. In fact, I think the real thread of this book is Lawrence Bourdelas.
