The book industry needs to get its act together: Petition to boycott HarperCollins
Pitched battles between publishers and librarians are not going to help anyone survive the digital revolution.
In advance of this weekend's Forum on Creative Writing in Quebec, the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec CALQ has made some documents on writers and writing available on its Website.
These include:
The Opening panel discussion (May 6, 5.30 p.m.) and the Plenary Session (May 8, 10.30 a.m) will be webcast live.
The six workshop themes will also be the subject of Facebook discussions this weekend, and highlights tweeted #FCLQ.

THERE IS NO ROOM
FOR SECOND PLACE.

"I am a guy who is Vietnamese, living in France, making a Japanese movie. But Vietnamese culture is really deep inside me. Let’s say I enjoy watching Vietnamese women more than others. It’s something like that. I feel that I am a different man when I am in Vietnam compared with France. I feel that I’m not living my life fully in France, I feel as though my life is in suspension. It is not something I dislike, that’s just how it is."

Linda Leith was recently approached for a letter supporting Terry's nomination for a major award; this is that letter.
