Titles Unveiled: Foglia's Literary Works Revealed
In the world of Quebec literature, Pierre Foglia, a renowned journalist and essayist, has been a beacon of insight and inspiration. His last column on February 28, 2015, revealed a list of the 100 favourite books of his readers, but the specifics of this list remain elusive.
One book that Foglia has often praised is "God and We Alone Can" by Michel Folco. Another book he introduced to Guylaine Trudeau was "A Manual of Hunting and Fishing for Girls" by Melissa Bank. This humour-filled American family tale has been a popular choice among readers.
In January 1994, Rachel Desjardins bought "Take Care of Your Fall" by Flora Balzano, a moving and disturbing book filled with charming winks to language. This book, like many others Foglia has recommended, has resonated with readers.
Foglia's reading preferences are not limited to contemporary literature. He has also been known to delve into historical accounts, such as "The Melancholy and Very Disillusioned Youth of Adolf Hitler" by Michel Folco, which Julie Roberge read before going on vacation.
Another intriguing read is "The World's Game" by Rohinton Mistry. This 882-page novel, set in India in the 1970s, follows four diverse characters. Renee Ratte found this beautifully written story worth rereading.
Marc Coiteux discovered "Laughter of a Man Between Two Rains" by Claude Duneton in a bookstore. This book, according to Coiteux, was his first real adult read. Diane Chamberland, during a reading, discovered all of Pierre Foglia's thoughts on "The American Fiancée" by Eric Dupont.
Despite my efforts to find more information about the list of readers' favourite books revealed by Pierre Foglia in his last column, no specific details have been found. However, the impact of his recommendations and the books he has championed are evident in the hearts and minds of readers.
- Pierre Foglia's influence on readers' reading choices is palpable, with books such as "The American Fiancée" by Eric Dupont and "The World's Game" by Rohinton Mistry, which he enthusiastically endorsed, resonating deeply with readers.
- In addition to championing contemporary literature, Pierre Foglia has also advocated for books that delve into historical accounts, like "The Melancholy and Very Disillusioned Youth of Adolf Hitler" by Michel Folco, which, much like the elusive list of readers' favourite books, presents a thought-provoking perspective on justice and human nature.
