Twenty-fourth International Festival for Roman Noir / FIRN- Frontignan. From the 10th to 12thSeptember 2021
The Town and the Countryside … the geography of the Roman Noir
After a 2020 edition made up of promenades on the Web and around the Thau lagoon, the FIRN returns to Frontignan and further afield (Sète, Montpellier, Mèze, Balaruc-les-Bains and Marseillan) in a new configuration to evoke its next annual theme “The town and the countryside”.
A total of forty-five authors have been invited, fourteen for events taking place during the curent year and thirty-one for this years’ FIRN Festival event, planned from Friday 10th to Sunday 12th September 2021. This year’s theme, is the particular geography of the “Noir Novel”; such as the dark side of mega-cities, city urban outskirts or the oddities of the countryside, during round tables and discussions. These events shall all take place outdoors in the courtyard of the Maurice-Clavel vocational college, a second chance school on the edge of the Rhône to Sète canal which crosses the heart of the City of Frontignan.
We have Jax Miller coming from the United States, an author unanimously acclaimed for “ Freedom’s child ” and “Candyland”, who returns with a very dark true crime story, “Hell in the heartland”. This is an investigation into the disappearance of two teenage girls against a background of Meth trafficking, of police corruption and a three-year personal quest in the Midwest.
Likewise the American William Boyle, a new grate voice of the Noir Novel, who continues, with “City of Margins”, his desperate and deeply human chronicle of his neighborhood of Gravesend, in South Brooklyn, New York City.
The prince of dark irony, the Scotsman Iain Levison, will share his keen perception of the human soul and of ordinary people in his last book “Parallax”. While the Irishman James Delargy, author of the bestseller “55”, will keep us in suspense with the thriller “Vanished”, the disappearance of a family in a disused mine in the Australian desert.The Englishman Parker Bilal will lead us in “The Divinities” in the footsteps of his new investigators Drake and Crane in a London ravaged by property development. There is the master of the French Noir Novel, Hervé Le Corre, who continues in “Traverser la nuit” to play with the codes of the genre (the serial killer, the rain, the city, the night) to make them universal odes.
Since the FIRN continues to mix genres, the great Jean-Christophe Chauzy will send us to hell with the 5th volume of his dystopian comic series, “Le reste du monde”.
Furthermore under this theme, the FIRN will receive a first appearance in Noir Novel by Science Fiction authors Catherine Dufour and Laurent Queyssi.
The FIRN will also continue its pioneering work by inviting eight debut novelists and comic book authors, Lilian Coquillaud, Thomas Verhille, Carine Joaquim, Yann Lespoux, Caroline Hinault, Astrid Monet, Romy Haussman and Adam Trotter.
Literary promenades onshore or on water, for adults and children, promenades on foot or on motorbikes, interactive exhibitions, film and musical evening events, sea mussel dinner party “brasucades”, dry Muscat … All the geographies of the Roman Noir will not be discussed, but all its colours will be there, those which give humans food for thought and help them to think about the world and to find their place within.
