Caution: Might Contain French

The literary space covered by English online resources is vast, yet the flavour of the news broad-casted in other languages can’t be ignored.

France’s Le Figaro presents every Tuesday a writer that made the headlines. And this Tuesday is Max Gallo, and his discourse upon his election into the French Academy (L’Académie française) where he emotionally mentions his origins, Italian immigrants, in order to highlight the French openness in matters of national identity.

Belgium’s La Libre writes: The Theater of ideas: fifty five debaters for the understanding of the zest and the agonies of a disoriented world.
The Life After (La Vie D’Apres) is the story of the author’s mother, Louanne Antrim, spaced in the saga of a dysfunctional family shaken by divorce, alcohol, illness. Via Cyberpresse, Canada.
