Well, I'll be damned. I just learnt that there is a new crime fiction festival going on, right now, in Québec of all places. I say going on, but it is ending today, so there is not much time for it. It is called
Les printemps Meurtriers de Knowlton, translated "
Knowlton 'sMurderous spring times", which is a great name. And Knowlton is in the Eastern Townships, one of our most beautiful regions! I was considering blogging about something else than crime fiction tonight, as
my last post in English was about crime fiction. But I could not keep this piece of news silent. I often
complain that we did not build a rich crime fiction literature in spite of
our rich crime history. So it is good news that something is happening, that the genre is given some exposure. I know there are other such festivals in Québec, but one more is certainly not too many. So I hope the first edition was successful and that there will be more.
