Amélie is Belgian like so many of our ancestors, and therefore a most interesting author.<br /><br />The challenge to the literary canon invented by a unversity elite is superb, but I'm not clear why the reader can have no views which conflict with 'Les Combustibles'.<br /><br />What were the books actually saved?<br /><br />If anyone were writing on the same theme this year, would we save 'Les Combustibles'?Snatch51https://www.blogger.com/profile/10892372914963273478noreply@blogger.com
