"Canadian author Éric Chacour’s writing reads more like poetry than prose. In his award-winning debut novel What I Know About You, he reimagines the tragic tale of Romeo and Juliet through the character of Tarek, a Levantine Egyptian man living in 1980s Cairo whose life is turned upside down by a fateful encounter... » ♥️🧐What an honor to be featured in Monocle magazine! An interview that you can find on newsstands or on their website (see link in my bio) #monocle #wikay #whatiknowaboutyou #ericchacour #cequejesaisdetoi #monoclemagazine

(🇫🇷 ci-après) Acum puțin peste un an, descopeream România datorită unei călătorii organizate de @oifrancophonie , cu sprijinul Institutului Francez. La Cluj-Napoca și la București, am întâlnit universitari, liceeni, traducători și cititori de o curiozitate și o generozitate extraordinare. Mă gândesc adesea la atelierele de scriere cu elevii, ale căror texte au acoperit apoi ferestrele liceului francez, la discuțiile cu librarii legendarei librării Kyralina sau la ceremonia de premiere a concursului de traducere în română a unui fragment din romanul meu. La câteva săptămâni după apariția în limba română a romanului Ce que je sais de toi (Ce știu despre tine, la editura @humanitas_fiction ), aceste amintiri capătă o rezonanță aparte - ocazia perfectă de a vă împărtăși acest mic album de amintiri. Mulțumesc tuturor celor care au făcut posibilă această călătorie - și sper să revin foarte curând în România 🇷🇴 Il y a un peu plus d’un an, je découvrais la Roumanie grâce à un voyage organisé par l’OIF avec le concours de l’@if_officiel . À Cluj-Napoca comme à Bucarest, j’ai rencontré des universitaires, des lycéens, des traducteurs et des lecteurs d’une curiosité et d’une générosité incroyables. Je repense souvent à ces ateliers d’écriture avec les élèves, dont les textes ont ensuite recouvert les fenêtres du @lycee_francais_bucarest , à ces instants passés à dialoguer avec les libraires de la mythique @librairie_kyralina , ou encore à la remise des prix de ce concours de traduction en roumain d’un extrait de mon roman. Quelques semaines après la parution de Ce que je sais de toi en roumain (Ce știu despre tine, aux éditions Humanitas), ces souvenirs prennent une résonance particulière ; la bonne occasion de vous partager ce petit album souvenir. Merci à toutes celles et ceux qui ont rendu ce voyage possible - et, je l’espère, à bientôt en Roumanie 🇷🇴

When Mira’s nicknames trigger a full-on crisis cell! 😱😄 A little peek into my conversation with @antoniomichaeldowning , host of CBC’s The Next Chapter, and my translator @jpablostrauss as part of the @oneereadcanada book club. Sometimes, it’s the tiniest details in a book that spark the biggest debates. 🔗 Link to the full video in bio

🥰📚As April comes to a close, I’m feeling especially grateful. It’s been a month filled with love for the English edition of What I Know About You, carried by the incredible dedication of librarians. First, across Canada, where the book was highlighted -without holds or waitlists- in over 650 public libraries as part of @oneereadcanada . And then, thanks to librarians, the novel was selected for the international @dublinlitaward , where it has now reached the finals (winner announced May 21). This journey also echoes the support the book first received from the librarians in its original version, with recognitions such as the Prix Culture et Bibliothèques pour tous, the FNABEH prize (for hospital libraries), and the readers’ awards from libraries such as André Malraux (St Philbert de Grand Lieu) and Alfred de Musset (Paris), in France. Grateful for all those who place stories into readers’ hands, again and again ♥️

De Céline Dion au théâtre, Eric Chacour raconte les inspirations de son roman "Ce que je sais de toi", une histoire d’amour intense, mais aussi une quête intime et bouleversante. Un roman qui nous a profondément marqués… et qu’on ne peut que te recommander ❤️
