full circle. July 02, the day of the official release of Blood ink at 36 , Jacques Pradel announced that he would invite me to a special Simenon to mark the 20th anniversary of the disappearance of the Belgian writer. A promise is due.
Rue Francois I, as the beautiful people at sidewalk cafes, five minute wait at the edge of the complex history of Europe 1 observe, soak up the scene, insight into Marie Drucker beautiful, evil Ruquier shaved, and I rush into the building.
Presentations in the courtyard as long as the chronicler smokes his cigarette. Then round table, microphone, headphones, coffee, smiles and compliments, the presenter, in the right mood, be launched in twenty minutes of reading my novel. A little advertising, five minutes of interrogation, then an hour of informal discussions with Gilles Henry and Paul Mercier, two eminent specialists of Maigret.
These 90 minutes will remain a great memory. If so, I assure you. Thanks largely to Mr. Pradel and her colleagues know that you get comfortable. Class ! And then he had read my book. He made a comprehensive summary to two other guests during a break. A reading of vacation, I he said during a break, it would be good for television. Me too.
Finally, the responsible police / justice showed me around the newsroom. Fabulous! A modern piece of 200 square meters, computer screens everywhere, telex, books, men and women divided into teams.
