    America - An Anthology of France...

    Today’s leading French writers offer their perspective of a post-2016 America in this collection of pieces from the bestselling French literary magazine. 
     
    From Alexis de Tocqueville’s Democracy in America to the moveable feasts of the Lost Generation, France and the United States have long shared a special relationship, defined as much by romantic fascination as occasional incomprehension. François Busnel, host of the acclaimed literary talk show La Grande Librairie, seeks to bridge this gap with America, a journal of literature and politics conceived in the aftermath of the election of Donald Trump, now available to English readers for the first time. 
     
    In this insightful collection of pieces from the magazine, Alain Mabanckou sketches the outlines of his Los Angeles, where he finds a sense of belonging far from his home country of the Republic of the Congo. Leïla Slimani considers the ways #MeToo is shaping a new discourse around consent on college campuses, and Philippe Besson takes an old-fashioned road trip through the American heartland as he drives from Chicago to New Orleans. Joël Dicker traipses through Yellowstone National Park on the lookout for grizzlies, while Alice Zeniter wanders the scorching streets of Las Vegas on foot. Featuring a poignant interview with National Book Award winner Louise Erdrich and original work in English by luminaries including Richard Powers, Colum McCann, and Laura Kasischke, America suggests a new way of understanding the enduring relationship between France and the United States, one that has never been read in quite this way before. 
     
    From the streets of Manhattan to the Wyoming wilderness, across rural Pennsylvania’s Amish country to the bright lights of Hollywood, America takes us on a crisscrossing road trip across the country as it archives accounts of the administration of the past four years and offers a moving testament to the essential power of literature to unite in times of division. 
     
    Praise for America 
     
    “Busnel presents a fine anthology of essays originally published in the French quarterly America. . . . The writers’ varied approaches mean that, even for readers familiar with the issues at play, the pieces will be consistently entertaining. As such, an American audience should lap up this thought-provoking tour.” —Publishers Weekly 
     
    “A form of sophisticated literary activism.” —Literary Hub 
     
    “While we wait for the “great works” inspired by the Trump era, the novelists and reporters at America will continue to discover the country that elected him, painting a picture while leaving prejudice to one side.” —France-Amérique 
     
    “A kaleidoscopic reading list of a divided nation.” —Columbia Journalism Review

    Career In Journalism - A...

    A great many people who want to be writers say that they want to have a career in journalism.  They may envision themselves going to exotic locales to cover stories.  While these things do happen to journalists, it takes a long time to make your bones before you are sent on any interesting assignments.  
    
    A journalist is someone who reports on timely events.  Timing is everything to a journalist.  Whether you write for a periodical or a newspaper, you need to make sure that your articles are timely.  Your purpose is to keep the public as up to date as possible when it comes to news and events that may affect them.  This is the basic concept of being a journalist.  
    You should report on all sides of a story, not just take one side, even if it appears that one side is right or wrong.  A good journalist gets all sides of the story, prints it and then lets the reader decide, based upon the article.  A good journalist does not make up the reader's mind for them.  
    
    As you continue in your career, you will find your voice when it comes to your writing.  Do not be surprised if your first articles are rewritten by your editor.  Another rule that you need to learn when you are starting a career as a journalist is to not fall in love with your own work.  Do not feel hurt if an editor does not like a phrase in your article, or makes some changes.  They are only doing their job.  You will soon get to know the editor and they will get to know your style of writing.
