What I Believe: Does Fiction Matter?
http://bradmeltzer.blogspot.com/2011/01/does-fiction-matter.html
Monday, January 10, 2011. The Saturday Evening Post asked me if fiction matters. Here's my answer. (And if you're a new reader of the blog, Hi there. Don't steal nothin'). Simple question, right? As a novelist, I’m supposed to say yes. I have to say yes. But. I hate when someone says I have to do something. So fiction doesn’t matter. It doesn’t. It shouldn’t. But then I keep thinking: Why do we ban books? Fiction’s just nonsense, right? It’s inconsequential. Just made up. So Why do we ban books? In Huckl...

French Windows: The Vercors
http://french-windows.blogspot.com/2013/10/the-vercors.html
Sunday, October 20, 2013. My little blue car chugs valiantly upwards on the winding road to the Vercors mountains. Even with the accelerator pressed to the floor, she will not go any faster than 60km an hour. The line of impatient motorists behind me is getting longer and I have to pull into a lay-by twice to let them pass. I have not ventured into the Vercors for years. The first time was when we arrived in Grenoble in 2001. I was excited at the prospect of tasting the local AOC cheese:. 8211; a sweet, ...

French Windows: August 2012
http://french-windows.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 26, 2012. I’ve just spent a wonderful week squished into a tiny caravan in the Pyrénées, at a lakeside campsite in Matemale. We walked in the mountains in the mornings, fizzed in the Jacuzzi and sweated in the sauna in the afternoons and gazed at the stars at night. We climbed high peaks, paddled in icy lakes, shivered in dark caves. We saw forest fires. Whispered to wild horses. And we searched our souls. Ah, yes. It was perfect. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Monday, July 21, 2014. Stereotypes may or may not be true: the stiff upper-lip of the British, the discipline of the Germans, the excitability of the Italians and…the grumpiness of the French. To be honest, I only know a handful of proper. 8211; complainers. Most of the French people I meet are delightfully easy-going. Nevertheless, this stereotype has come in very handy as an excuse for my own grumpy-miserable-feeling-sorry-for-myself state of mind. It’s all rubbed off on me, see? It’s all about h.
