ar bookair (more than 20.000 visitors each year).
I am also since 1995 an university professor in Bordeaux III
As a matter of fact, I work nowadays on three new projects, a literature and travel bookshop near Bordeaux (Librairie 45° parallele) to open on the 17 of june , a "comics" bookshop ( september), and finally a specialised cook and wine bookshop opening in may in Bordeaux . I work on a yearly travel book, film, music exhibition in Pessac (France), starting on the 20 of may 2016 called " la Grande Evasion".
I work a lot to forget how lazy I could be.
Minnetonka high was an open minded experience, a priceless and rich, human, cultural adventure.
