hmm yeah but then you wouldn't recognise céline's face... so i don't think that's wise

[CSCfan]

Hence the mystery

[celinedream]

We met Madame Bombardier in Mexico City and also her husband. Both very nice people. She spoke to us about the book a little bit. And about the DVD too. She said this time they've let the cameras eveyrwhere. Her exact words were something like "the camera is there even before Celine wakes up!"

 

I can't wait to read this book. And I'm so happy I can just go to the store here in Montreal and buy it. This is a first for me Btw, if someone needs me to buy you a copy let me know.

 

Release date here is April 15 (from the Journal de Montreal article)

Thank you, celinedream. Great post.

 

Would you please elaborate on your encounter with Mme. Bombardier?

 

Also, aside from Archambault, what are some of the best bookshops in Montreal?

it would be nice if you had asked her about the English version...

I expect Denise's book about Céline to be a good one. She's a credible intellectual, polemist and writer. I've heard her say in interviews that it will talk about the special relationship between Céline and her fans from around the world. The unique attraction that Céline herself has for her fans, meaning her whole personnality, charisma, human qualities... She'll talk about her great strenght, intelligence, and all those qualities she posessed without any doubt to be where she is today. So not about the music I don't think or her lifestory like it was done before. She'll try to understand and explain why she is so beloved by her fans, again apart from the music. So I guess a lot about Céline's personnality through Denise's perception, observations on this tour and personal analysis of her and the way she achieved the worlwide success and love she has gain like no other. The problem Denise had to solved is not exactly the angle to treat this "memoire" but mostly to find the right tone (choice of words) in order to reach all of Céline's fans and not to write a book for intellectuals only, who aren't interested in Céline. Anyway we'll see but I hope she's able to live up to my expectations of her....Deinse I mean of course.

 

As for Wilson's book being the only good book, I disagree. Wilson hated Céline and didn't understand why so many people loved her songs. To him it was "the end of taste" like the title suggested. Apparently he has come to understand why taste isn't for most people some intellectual thing like it seems to be for some musical critics like him. I think he has come to appreciate a little bit more her music and especially Céline herself, her genuine and sincere personnality and her extraordinary journey to international success. His conclusion and change of perspective(or understanding) about Céline and why her music and the person herself has been so beloved, her real worldwide fans have felt it for Céline and her music right away. We didn't need to think, make extensive research or write a book. I think he explained in a way to people who aren't that close to their own feelings I guess and love music with their minds and preconception of what should be cool, why she got through people's heart in such a big way. Those who already love Céline and feel music mostly with their heart don't need to read this book. Not everything needs to be explained imo, like love music is one of those things for me.

 

Sorry, I don't feel my english is as good as my french or as I would like it to be here to explain better what I mean but I guess you get the picture regarding what I think about this a little bit anyway here.

 

In conclusion, I can't wait to read what Denise has to say about the "Enigmatique Céline". I've gathered from listening to Denise that she feels Céline is really what we see, hear and love..... but also lots more, lots more.

 

I agree..

Ok I have a bad feeling about this book now. For some reason, I don't like this woman very much. Maybe that's unfair of me because I don't know much about her, but I don't want my views on Celine to be shaken up. If she's Celine's friend, why does she want to create a controversy? Or what is it that Celine could possibly have done in her life, that would create drama?

 

BTW I have no idea what enigmatic means, I thought that was a medical word.

 

Also, I found this on Celine's official website...it doesn't sound like it's about Celine as a human, but more about her career and success?

 

"Denise Bombardier, who wrote the song, "La Diva" from the 'D'elles' album, will be writing a new book about Celine focusing on her immense worldwide popularity and cultural impact! Although she will not be traveling with the Tour production team, she will be following every step of the Taking Chances World Tour and interviewing fans at each stop along the way. Stay tuned to Celinedion.com for more information! "

Maybe i do agree with u too as i saw her in Paris,so it means that she is everywhere interviewing fans(as u say) cuz she talked to us a bit.. who knows,but let wait for book...I cant say many things about her,if i saw her once,it doesnt mean i know sth about her..i actually dont know..

Well next week is the day, sure would like to know when the english version is do. Can"t WAIT to get my hands on this one, Do we even have a name yet/picture for the cover.?

[thatgirlmeghan]

I found the publisher's website. I sent a short email to the "press" and "editor" departments asking if the book will be available in english.

 

So we'll see if I get an answer.

 

The publisher only has a small list of authors. Surely someone will email back a "yes" or "no."

I prefer so much this picture rather than the 11 years old photo! Thanks Wendy! You made my day!

But then the other pic.......................???

 

 

 

 

*And here does Celine'sBlues come *

[CSCfan]

Much better! Although the font..... :s

And funny how it says 'enigmatique' on that cover, yet it's listed as 'mystere'..

[SensationalCeline]

wOW, I didn't know that this was the book that they were talking about. After reading everyone's responses, this author sounds a little intriguing and I would love to see the chapter that she wrote on Rene-Charles especially. Can't wait to see someone post about it when they get it. Sorry Alex_Incognito for repeating the "same damn thing" but I also hope that it comes out in English. Although if it only came out in French, I would buy it even though I can't read it. My grandmother can so I can just go to her. She can read me a Celine bedtime story even though I'm 16 about to be 17!

[Celinefanatic07]

Will it be released in the U.S.?

 

 

Wow thats such a beautiful photo of Celine and Rene that u have below your message above

 

xxx

 

 

Oh my gosh, thankyou so much! I'm sorry it's such a late response, but I havent looked at this thread in a while. I love that picture, sometimes I catch myself staring at my own picture. lol.
