Sobre IBD

Michael Jackson held the Katherine Mansfield Writing Fellowship in 1982. Menton Journal interweaves a narrative of his family’s life in the south ofFrance with stories of locals who became close friends and excerpts from the novel on which he was working. His year in Menton proved to be a turning point. Between the Côte d’Azur and its terraced hinterland hills a shadowy nemesis lay in wait. Nothing would ever be the same again.

Writing in this sense is seen as...
