> Post-net writing goes back to paper.
>
> Who : Co-editors Mathias (R) et François Richard (L), founders of the
> publishing house "Caméras Animales".
>
> Why they are hot :  "Caméras animales" is an independent publishing house
> based in Tours and Paris. Only a few years old, it is dedicated to
> alternative French literature by new authors. Thirty-something editors are
> trying to establish themselves on the tough playground of countless French
> publishers by launching unconventional, marginal writers emerging from the
> Internet, video game and rock'n'roll universe. Language is harsh, edgy and
> on the verge of experimental literature. Alternative authors themselves,
and
> so not necessarilly finding favour with mainstream publishers, M & F
Richard
> are staunch defenders of hard-core rebels of the literary world, on the
far
> side of any easy writing.
>
> One of the star writers is the 'wild at heart' Thierry Théolier with his
> book "Crevard". He is a founder of The Hype Syndicate, a huge Parisian
> underground net community aimed at exchanging party schedules in order to
> gate crash them and claim thier own part of the high society. By definig
> himself as "crevard" (outsider, marginal, down and out) and "artist with
no
> deed", Thierry Théolier stages performancies in "off" art galleries and
runs
> a few net newsgroups and community blogs.
>
> For Whom : Though reading their books is a tough task for non-native
French
> readers, "Caméras animales"  has great potential as feeding ground for
> literary specialists and fans of the digital pleasures, undergroud
> literature, net communities and rock'n'roll. The new generation of
> out-of-the-net and post-net writers is definitely in.
