John Flanagan Eoin Colfer Writingalife's Blog Les moutons électriques — le blog | Humeurs et actualités des Moutons électriques, éditeur geraldinebrooks Darren Shan Megan Elizabeth Dictionnaire mondial de la BD La bande dessinée a donc son dictionnaire — le summum de respectabilité. Sur la couverture cartonnée, il y a marqué «Larousse», c’est un grand livre bien épais, avec un cahier coloré qui sépare l’ouvrage en deux parties, et le seul poids dans nos mains suffirait à forcer le respect. Bref, c’est un dictionnaire comme on a appris à les connaître, un vrai — et ce, jusqu’à l’illustration de la couverture, et son patchwork de personnages laissant entrevoir la richesse du contenu de ces (nombreuses) pages. Une navigation difficile Ne vous laissez pas abuser par le cahier coloré central, qui pourrait évoquer les feuilles roses des citations latines, lesquelles marquaient autrefois une démarcation entre les noms propres et les noms communs. Apparaît alors une hiérarchie établie de facto par la sélection opérée par Patrick Gaumer, et déterminée par la présence (ou non) d’une notule spécifique, ou (honneur plus mineur) d’une mention accompagnée d’un renvoi. Penser collectif ?

Ann Brashares biography, plus links to book reviews and excerpts. Ann Brashares Biography Ann Brashares grew up in Chevy Chase, Maryland with her three brothers and attended a Quaker school in the DC area called Sidwell Friends. She studied Philosophy at Barnard College, part of Columbia University in New York City. Expecting to continue studying philosophy in graduate school, Ann took a year off after college to work as an editor, hoping to save money for school. Loving her job, she never went to graduate school, and instead, remained in New York City and worked as an editor for many years. When asked where the idea for the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants came from she replies: "It started with a conversation. Brashares and her husband, 42-year-old portrait painter Jacob Collins, live in a four-story building in the East 60s in New York with their three children, Susannah, Nate and Sam, who range in age from about 5 to 11. They met when Brashares was 18 and he was 21. Link to Ann's website This biography was last updated on 06/19/2011. Interview
