Chris Christie may be fat , but he ain’t Santa Claus. In fact, he seems unable to decide if he is New Jersey’s governor or its caporegime , and it may be a comment on the coarsening of American discourse that his brash rudeness is often taken for charm. In February, while discussing New Jersey’s newly amended income-tax law, which allows the rich to pay less (proportionally) than the middle class, Christie was asked about Warren Buffett’s observation that he paid less federal income taxes than his personal secretary, and that wasn’t fair. “ He should just write a check and shut up ,” Christie responded, with his typical verve.

Projet A4

Le livre est un lieu exceptionnel pour la création photographique, mettant en jeu les questions de l’espace, du format, du récit en images. Il est devenu pour de nombreux photographes un médium en soi, interrogeant de manière spécifique les façons de montrer la photographie aujourd’hui. Nous souhaitons répondre à cet engouement en organisant une exposition de livres choisis auto-produits ou auto-édités.

And the chap conveyed all that with a dozen grunts. <p style="text-align:right;color:#A8A8A8"></p>

“La literatura latinoamericana ya ha alcanzado la mayoría de edad”

Santiago Gamboa (Bogotá, 1965) no quiere que lo lean por ser colombiano –“como yo no leo a Malraux por francés ni a Tabucchi por italiano”--, ni cree que para escribir una buena novela haya que salirse de los senderos ya marcados de la literatura: "Dice el maestro Fernando Botero que nunca ha dado una pincelada que no esté autorizada por la historia del arte.
