Authors headed to France
Just learned that CBU Press authors A.J.B. (John) Johnston and Anne Marie Lane Jonah, who are both historians and experts on Louisbourg, are making presentations at a conference on Louisbourg in Rochefort, France, at the end of the month. The conference is being held at the Centre international de la Mer, Rochefort. Johnston’s talk is entitled, “Qu’est-ce que c’est, ce Louisbourg?” On Nov. 30, there’s a screening of Marc Jouanny’s and Françoise Mamolar’s excellent documentary film shot in France and at the Fortress in 2013 and released in 2014.
Johnston is author of numerous books on Louisbourg and the author of two historical novels: Thomas, A Secret Life and The Maze, A Thomas Pichon Novel (both from CBU Press). Lane Jonah is coauthor, with Chantal Véchambre, of French Taste in Atlantic Canada – 1604-1758: A Gastronomic History / Le goût Français au Canada Atlantique 1604-1758 : Une Histoire Gastronomique (CBU Press 2012).
