Alan Rickman Takes In Some Culture

Je tiens à remercier Annick, la merveilleuse, qui pense toujours à nous et qui m'a envoyé cet article... en anglais, je vais essayer de vous le traduire mais en attendant vous devrez le lire en version originale ^_-

Judging by today's front page of the Ottawa Citizen that I mentioned in my earlier weblog post today, I had a feeling that someone famous would be in attendance at John Ralston Saul's reading. Here on johnwmacdonald.com are some exclusive photos of the event today. Accompanying Mr. Rickman this afternoon was "Canadian producer Niv Fichman, one of the producers behind the forthcoming Snow Cake, but best known for his film, The Red Violin, starring Samuel L. Jackson." (Citizen quote)

I was expecting Her Excellency to be there supporting her husband but she was a no show this afternoon. John Ralston Saul was reading at the Library and Archives Canada on Wellington Street. Billed as an internationally acclaimed author, and one of Canada's foremost thinkers, he discussed his latest publication, The Collapse of Globalism: And the Reinvention of the World.

Indeed, Alan Rickman was in the audience today. He poses with Ottawa International Writersfest Director, Neil Wilson.

And lastly, happy Mr. Rickman.
