Jean-Patrick Manchette
Jean-Patrick Manchette (19 December 1942, Marseille – 3 June 1995, Paris) was a French crime novelist credited with reinventing and reinvigorating the genre. He wrote ten short novels in the seventies and early eighties, and is widely recognized as the foremost French crime fiction author of that period. His stories are violent explorations of the human condition and French society. Manchette was politically to the left and his writing reflects this through his analysis of social positions and culture. Eight of his eleven novels have been translated into English. Two were published by San Francisco publisher ''City Lights Books''—''3 To Kill'' (from the French ''Le petit bleu de la côte ouest'') and ''The Prone Gunman'' (from the French ''La Position du tireur couché''). Five other novels, ''Fatale'', ''The Mad and the Bad'' (from the French ''O dingos, O chateaux!''), ''Ivory Pearl'' (from the French ''La Princesse du Sang''), ''Nada'', and ''No Room at the Morgue'' were rele ...

People From Roanne
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...
