Lyon: Crime (Fiction) Capital

France’s biggest crime-fiction festival is back at its usual time of year, 1-3 April, after a Covid-delayed edition in July 2021. For its 18 th edition it has a large roll-call of writers from France and around the world, including many from the U.K. and the U.S. Alongside stars like Harlan Coben, John Grisham and Paula Hawkins, you’ll also find the cream of Scottish noir: Val McDermid, Irvine Welsh, Abir Mukherjee, and the wonderful Chris Brookmyre. (If you don’t know his work, you don’t know what you’re missing!) If you haven’t discovered him yet, Richard Osman, comic turned bestselling crime author, who has set his books in an old-people’s community that has a Thursday murder club (the point being to solve cold cases, not to commit murders, although...) Alongside stars like Harlan Coben, John Grisham and Paula Hawkins, you’ll also find the cream of Scottish noir: Val McDermid, Irvine Welsh, Abir Mukherjee, and the wonderful Chris Brookmyre. (If you don’t know his work, you don’t know what you’re missing!) If you haven’t discovered him yet you can meet Richard Osman, comic turned bestselling crime author, who has set his books in an old-people’s community that has a Thursday murder club (the point being to solve cold cases, not to commit murders.) On Saturday at 2.30 p.m. there’s a presentation of a crime novel written by a binational duo of authors, one French and one German. It’s called Terminus Leipzig , by Jérôme Leroy and Max Annas. At 4.30 there’s an hour with John Grisham on the differences between the U.S. and French justice systems. Just time to get a few books signed in between! At 5 p.m., three American authors, Kimi Cunningham Grant, David Joy and John Woods, will discuss a region that fascinates them, the Appalachian mountains . And for a complete change of scene, a South African meal at 7.30 with three authors, Deon Meyer, Caryl Férey et Max Annas and a Cape Town chef. It’s worth getting up early on Sunday for a 9.30 cruise on the Rhine with Girl on the Train author Paula Hawkins . At 10.30, catch Val McDermid discussing the importance of place in crime fiction with French author Sonja Delzongle and Arnaldur Indriðason from Island. Or at 11, join a discussion about the modern “cosy” mystery (think Cluedo or Agatha Christie) with British authors S. J. Bennett and Richard Osman, and Jeon Gunwoo from South Korea. Would-be crime writers will have to choose between two events centred more on the technique of crime fiction at 2 p.m. on Sunday, one on suspense and the other on action . (The latter is a chance to meet Chris Brookmyre.) At 5, you can catch a discussion about using real historical characters in crime fiction with British authors S. J. Bennett and Abir Mukherjee, Peter Dempf from Germany and Raphaël Malkin from France. There’s also space in the programme for film and TV adaptations. On Thursday at 7 p.m., Michel Barnier will discuss Hitchcock and suspense. On Friday 1 st at 3.45 p.m., a preview showing of Irvine Welsh’s TV series Crime , and a chance to talk to the Trainspotting author afterwards.

The Power of the Dog

Ever since Jane Campion burst onto the world stage with an Oscar for The Piano, she has shown a deft capacity to depict buttoned up, repressed emotions. The Power of the Dog, nominated for 12 Oscars, is no exception. The Netflix new-generation Western stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Jesse Plomens as Montana ranching brothers Phil and George who definitely don’t discuss their feelings when George disrupts the balance of their relationship by marrying Rose (Kirsten Dunst).

Vitali Konstantinov, La grande histoire de l’écriture, de l’écriture cunéiforme aux émojis

Par Camille Lacour Les métamorphoses de l’écriture Des symboles cunéiformes, créés dans un système de logogrammes, jusqu’aux irremplaçables émojis de nos smartphones, l’écriture a connu d’innombrables formes et évolutions au cours du temps. Avec beaucoup d’humour, La Grande Histoire de l’écriture , album jeunesse écrit et illustré par Vitali Konstantinov, présente les traits que les caractères, l’alphabet et les encodages ont revêtus depuis la Préhistoire. L’album se découpe en trois parties. La première reprend les bases de l’écriture, dévoilant l’alphabet phonétique international (API), cette description des sons présents dans toutes les langues. La seconde partie dévoile toutes les écritures que les peuples ont su élaborer, en commençant par l’écriture cunéiforme, née à Sumer (l’actuel Irak), qui se répandit parmi les peuples voisins tout en s’adaptant à des dialectes différents. Enfin, la dernière partie s’intéresse aux alphabets proches du nôtre, mais aussi aux univers de Tolkien et de Star Trek , mondes dans lesquels sont imaginées des nouvelles langues pleines de surprises. À travers cet album, Vital Konstantinov offre un réel plaisir aux amoureux des Lettres. Tantôt drôle, tantôt instructif, il retrace de façon chronologique l’histoire de l’écriture selon les époques, les lieux et les cultures. Les illustrations donnent une certaine dynamique au texte, lui apportant ce côté ludique et attrayant qui aideront les plus jeunes à retenir les informations plus facilement. Il pourra, peut-être aussi, nous redonner goût au glissement de la pointe du stylo-plume à la surface du papier blanc… Vitali Konstantinov, La grande histoire de l’écriture, de l’écriture cunéiforme aux émojis , Éditions La joie de lire, 80 pages, 24,90 €

In the Streets of Belfast

Belfast is actor-director Kenneth Branagh‘s most personal film yet. It’s the story of nine-year-old Buddy growing up in Belfast in a friendly, working-class community until the Troubles brutally disrupt his life in 1969. Belfast is set in 1969, when what were called “the Troubles” went from protests to violent riots in the space of a weekend. Opposition to British colonial rule of Ireland had led to Irish independence in 1921. But the population of the six north-eastern counties chose to remain part of the U.K., as Northern Ireland. The majority of the population was Protestant and often Unionist, supporting remaining in the U.K. A significant minority was Catholic and often Republican, supporting the unification of all of Ireland. The Catholic population was generally poorer and excluded from the best-paying jobs, best places to live, and limited in their access to the political system. From 1967 there had been a growing civil-rights movement demanding equal rights. But in August 1969, demonstrations in Derry Londonderry and Belfast degenerated into violence. The demonstrators blamed heavy-handed policing from the almost exclusively Protestant Royal Ulster Constabulary . The British government reaction was to deploy the British Army on Northern Irish streets. They remained until 2007. To Stay or Not to Stay Buddy’s family in the film, and Kenneth Branagh’s in real life, were faced with a decision to make. Stay in what was effectively a war zone, or leave for mainland U.K. or somewhere else in the British Commonwealth. They would leave everything they knew, and their close-knit family. But they would gain safety and potentially a better future for the children. The father in the fictional and real family was already working in England, because he couldn’t get a well-paid job in Belfast. Did it make sense to stay when the economic situation was unlikely to improve and violence and hatred was making everyday life fraught with danger? [video width="640" height="480" mp4="http://www.speakeasy-news.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/SN_belfast_clip.mp4"][/video] Branagh plunges the audience into this dilemma. Buddy is very attached to his grandparents, and the girl at school he doesn’t dare talk to but intends to marry. He is worried that no one will understand his accent if he has to go to England. But he also can’t understand how neighbours have suddenly become enemies and familiar streets are blocked with barricades. The film has been nominated for seven Oscars including best picture, director and screenplay and best supporting actors for Dame Judi Dench and Ciarán Hinds. Branagh from Belfast Many cinema fans are unaware that Branagh is Northern Irish. The actor is famous for his Shakespearean roles and most recently directing himself as Hercule Poirot in two successful Agatha Christie adaptations. There’s no trace of Belfast in his drama-school-trained Received Pronunciation. He says that this is because when his family moved to England in the 1970s, their accent marked them out for suspicion. IRA attacks were frequent on the mainland and all Northern Irish people were viewed as potential terrorists. The young Branagh lost no time changing his accent to fit in with his new surroundings. But he never lost his love for his home city and during the Covid lockdown found himself thinking back nostalgically to the days when he played in the streets, often acting out the stories he loved to see in the cinema. Although his father was away working in England, there was plenty of affection from his mother and grandparents. He describes the feeling of belonging he had as a child, saying, "We were related to one half of Belfast and we went to school with the other half.” Coming next week: a B1+-B2 ready-to-use resource on Belfast .
