On Tuesday morning, dozens of people gathered in the Atrium of the Gaston-Miron Building in Montreal to take part in the press conference for the 36th Book Fair in Montreal. From the outset, Gilda Routy Show President, announced that following several requests last year, the show was renewed. Small glance on a rich program.
As always, the programming of the Book Fair in Montreal offers something for everyone. Under the theme "Bridging Cultures", the Salon wants to live the book its visitors by creating a bridge between the various players in the book chain and drive. fe That is why there will always be round tables and meetings fe with authors. In addition, various conferences will be organized around the book trade, including the publisher. The editor is a "bridge between the author and the reader," as mentioned Jean Bernier, publisher Éditions du Boréal (which this year celebrates its 50 years!) And guest of honor at the Book Fair in Montreal.
Gateway between stakeholders of the book, of course. fe But more than "a bridge between cultures" refers to the encounter with the other. And this year, the Montreal Book Fair will honor the Haiti. Several events will be available under the Haiti Pavilion to honor, both for children as for adults.
An important change, if there is one, will be the opening night. As highlighted Gilda Routy exit long speeches in the square of the book. Let time to party! A public reading of Albertine in Five Times by actresses and Lorraine Pintal, who will present the play at Théâtre du Nouveau Monde (TNM) next spring readings chosen as Haiti flag to honor, but also street musicians and readings in the key. Interestingly, that day, the Show will open its doors for free to subscribers of libraries of Montreal and the Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec.
Children always have a special place in programming. Several activities fe will also be organized for them, and they will indeed find (and adults) the book craftsmen through workshops Making a book, teamwork !, led by Éditions de la Bagnole.
We have also retained the evening Thursday, literature book in which, across the room, the authors will read from their works. In addition, some respond to the questionnaire by Gilles Archambault, inspired by the famous Proust questionnaire. This is a great opportunity to learn more about your authors. After all, they will be 70 to take part in this evening!
Note that the Montreal Book Fair took advantage of the press conference to issue its first award, that is to say, the price Marcel-Couture crown the work of an author or illustrator of a francophone. This year the award was given to Normand Laprise for his book Toqué! Craftsmen of Quebec gastronomy (Éditions du Passage). You can also consult the list of different awards at the Montreal Book Fair, including the Grand Audience Award Montreal Book Fair / The Press on the show site.
Finally, once again this year, remember the Gift of Reading. In 2012, the Literacy Foundation has distributed 36,903 books to disadvantaged children. This year it is 40 000 pounds. For those who could not travel to the Salon this year, donation boxes will be available in bookstores.
