With her show Dis-moi ce que tu lis, Karyne Lefebvre offers each week to dive into the heart of an author's literary universe. Here, it is with Rodney Saint-Eloy that she talks. He is a publisher and holds literature in esteem, a way for him to transform reality, to embellish it. He says he owes this love of the word to his grandmother Tida, who made him read Psalm 23 of the Bible.
In this program, he also talks about his first guides: Corneille, Aeschylus and Racine, but also about his influences: Gaston Miron, whom he nicknamed his "Haitian brother", and Aimé Césaire. Author Kevin Lambert and poet Louise Dupré make a surprise appearance, much to the delight of this member of the Académie des lettres du Québec.

At the end of last year, during They Made 2022, the formidable host Marie-Louise Arsenault offered five major interviews with personalities who distinguished themselves during 2022. Let's listen, the one dedicated to Denise Desautels, a Quebec poet who shone in France this year, notably by her entry into Gallimard's distinguished Poetry collection, becoming the first woman to be published there, and the prestigious Prix Apollinaire, considered the Goncourt of poetry, which she received in 2022. This "rockstar of poetry" also talks about her childhood inspirations, evokes her love for Anne Hébert and Saint-Denys Garneau and answers the end-of-year questionnaire.

The H hour is the crucial hour: the one that changes a destiny and plunges you into adventure and the unknown. Jean-Louis Lahaye has, among other things, studied the manuscripts found by Céline. It is 15:15 pm on a summer day 2021 in Nanterre. A man, white shirt and sneakers, trudges forward in front of a soulless modern building where only the sign on the façade "Ministry of the Interior" sets him apart from other buildings on the street. It is not easy to access the building when you take with you 3 large bags. Outside, passers-by do not pay attention to this man. No one recognizes it. In Paris, however, some circles have been talking about him for a few months. It is at the centre of a case that has all the newspapers made their front pages. Let's relive this H-Hour with him...

► In G major: by Camille Saint-Saëns in Hanoi with François Bibonne
To evoke Vietnam is often to summon war or wake up the rice fields. Yes, too often. Even around here, Vietnam regularly oscillates between the tourist leaflet and the Story of Uncle Ho.
En Sol Majeur has just discovered a little marvel of documentary entitled Once upon a bridge in Vietnam, which will be translated as Once upon a bridge in Vietnam. And that's a nice beginning of the score. Once upon a time there was a young man on this bridge, with his love for classical music in his right hand and his love for his Vietnamese grandmother in his left hand. There is a desk in the air. Because when he animates his arms, François Bibonne becomes the conductor of a different look on this earth. The idea is to bridge the gap between French-speaking Vietnam and a Camille Saint-Saëns who has his museum in Saigon...
