Bienvenue au «Rose Fountain Motel» de Jabbour Douaihy | La chute de la Maison Baz
Le Rose Fountain Motel, c’est le rêve de Margaret, l’épouse autrichienne de Jojo. Elle se verrait bien installer dans la maison familiale un hôtel, chaque chambre aurait une couleur différente, à la cave on ouvrirait un restaurant français qu’on appellerait Le faucon, al-Baz en arabe. Al-Baz, c’est le nom de la famille de son mari.

Yasmina Jraissati, RAYA agency, will be a guest of the International Book ForumIBF, at Torino book fair 2009. The fair is held from May 14th through 16th. See you there!

The Abu Dhabi Book Fair, organized by Kitab, a joint venture between ADACH and the Frankfurt Book Fair, has gathered exhibitors from across the Arab world this year. The presence of US, UK, German, Indian and French publishers should also be noted.
The fair coincided with both the Sheikh Zayed Award and the Arab Man Booker, or IPAF, won this year by Egyptian author Zaydan, for his novel ‘Belzebuth | Aazazil’.
