Génération has arrived at the offices of Quai Voltaire/La Table Ronde, ready for Publication Day on January 12th. Huge thanks to everyone involved, especially Cécile Arnaud, not only for her superb translation, but also for translating “on the hoof” during my recent visit; to Anna-Lucie, who accompanied me from meeting to meeting, and thought of everything; and of course to Alice Deon, my seeming-tireless editor, and hostess extraordinaire.
