L’écrivain portugais Antonio Lobo Antunes est mort Travailleur acharné, auteur prolixe à l’imagination fertile et fervent défenseur de la liberté d’expression, il s’est éteint le 5 mars à Lisbonne, à l’âge de 83 ans.

Un immense écrivain vient de disparaitre.

He was so proud that his work was selected to be published by la Pléiade... The project has been dragging on for years (mostly due to the complete retranslation of his novels in French) and I'm sad that he didn't get to see it.

My very first job I said "Thank you" and "Please"
They made me scrub a parking lot down on my knees
Then I got fired for being scared of bees
And they only paid me in thin slices of cheese.

"Why read? Because you can know, intimately, only a very few people, and perhaps you never know them at all. After reading The Magic Mountain you know Hans Castorp thoroughly, and he is greatly worth knowing." — Harold Bloom

Frankly, I complained about the ccv for years, but had become comfortable with the brief version required for CIHR Project grants.

I don't understand why shovelling isn't a winter Olympic sport.

"… would run to her specialist …" is the best translation I can think of for now. Might be inappropriate if Ariane is a Vth century creature with skin problems.
