In and around Toulouse, five thriller authors in contact with readers
Toulouse polars du Sud has just started and will continue until Sunday. The opportunity for authors to meet the public until October 16, from media libraries to bookstores.
If the 14th edition of Toulouse polars du Sud takes place mainly on Saturday October 8 and Sunday October 9 at the La Renaissance bookstore in Toulouse, it has spread since Tuesday October 4 throughout the region. Among the authors who multiply from media libraries to bookstores, a small selection of a particularly remarkable quintet. Among the Toulousaines, we can find Gabrielle Massat at the Cornebarrieu media library today Wednesday at 7 p.m. His latest book, “Thirty grams”, released last year by Editions du Masque, is terribly distressing. The same day, the prolific Jérôme Leroy will be, at 6 p.m., at the Saint-Cyprien media library, in Toulouse. It will be found at the Aucamville media library, Thursday October 6 at 6:30 p.m., then in Lavernose-Lacasse, Friday October 7, at 7 p.m. In “The Last Days of the Fauves” (La Manufacture de livres), the author once again displays his taste for scathing political books. Former police officer, Hugues Pagan will present his latest opus, the impressive “Carré des indigents” (Rivages), a social account of an investigation into the murder of a young girl in the 1970s, Thursday October 6 at 6:30 p.m. at the Fabre media library , in Toulouse, then Friday October 7 at 8 p.m. at the Granada media library. Two festival regulars, Valerio Varesi and Carlo Lucarelli, are back. The first published before the summer the diabolical “alpine” suspense “La main du Dieu”, which he will talk about at Jean-Jaurès University, Thursday October 6 at 10 a.m. and at the Fronton media library on Friday October 7 at 7 p.m. As for the second, scheduled for Friday, October 7 at 7.30 p.m. at the Cave Poésie, he will discuss his latest book, “An Italian affair”, released last year by Métailié and which immerses us in an icy city of Bologna, during a Dark Christmas 1953.
