Fabrice Tortey, editor of the recently released and well-received French REH critical volume \u00c9chos de Cimm\u00e9rie<\/em><\/a> reports:<\/p>\n Leo,<\/p>\n Both Les nombreuses vies de Conan<\/em><\/a> (edited by Simon Sanahujas) and \u00c9chos de Cimm\u00e9rie<\/em><\/a> are nominated<\/a> for Le Grand Prix de l’Imaginaire, a prestigious French award dedicated to SciFi, Weird & Fantasy fiction (category “Essay”). The winners will be proclaimed on October 28 during Les Utopiales<\/a>, a famous Sci-Fi festival. The third book in competition for the category is Dans les griffes de la Hammer<\/em> by Nicolas Stanzick, about Hammer studios and France.<\/p>\n The fact that two of the three essay volumes in competition are dedicated to Howard is significant. Let’s hope that it will be a springboard for Howard Studies in France!<\/p>\n Fabrice<\/p><\/blockquote>\n But Fabrice — how can this be? I was told that Howard is one of the least<\/em>-studied pulp authors! Invigorating<\/em> scholarship has yet to be attempted, right? My God, THE ACADEMICS HAVEN’T EVEN PRESENTED THEIR PCA PAPERS YET!<\/p>\n But seriously, let’s all extend our congratulations to Fabrice, and wish him and his buddy Simon good luck at the ceremony next month. He worked really hard on his book for several years, and deserves all the credit in the world that comes his way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fabrice Tortey, editor of the recently released and well-received French REH critical volume \u00c9chos de Cimm\u00e9rie reports: Leo, Both Les nombreuses vies de Conan (edited by Simon Sanahujas) and \u00c9chos de Cimm\u00e9rie are nominated for Le Grand Prix de l’Imaginaire, a prestigious French award dedicated to SciFi, Weird & Fantasy fiction (category “Essay”).
