Weather forecast for Paris, France, February 7 & 8, 2009: Rainy, some fog, wear your best wool coat and bring an umbrella - unless you plan to stop by the 15th annual Maghreb des Livres book fair this weekend, where you can catch some sunshine from the literary lights of les pays ensoleillés.
This year's program is highlighting works from Morocco, but you can enjoy films, graphic novels, art books, discussions, lectures, vendor stalls and rencontres with the likes of writer Driss Chraibi, historian Charles-Robert Ageron, and ethnologist Germaine Tillion.
I loaned my ecru-colored private jet with the in-house salsa band and wardrobe full of Chanel suits to a friend this weekend, so I won't be able to attend; however, if anyone who does go happens stop by this blog, please let me know how it went!

And thanks, Joan, for the tip-off! And don't forget your umbrella!

Fortunately, there's the Web for those who cannot break into such closed circles.
One more week to complete my survey on the Blogoma, Moroccan culture, and censorship (it will take about 15 minutes):

Hi Friendly, thanks for the comment, but I'm not sure what you intend by "closed circles". The book fair was open to the public; I'd figure the main detractor would be distance! Please feel free to explain...But yes, thank goodness for the net.
