Olivier Nora

The big uproar in French publishing.

when nearly 200 authors at the publishing house Crassé effectively resigned in protest at the sudden removal of its longstanding head, Olivier Nora.

And we had a piece which you commissioned, Russell, by the wonderful novelist Laurent Binet, and we all talked about it in April.

What's happened since? What's the update?

Well, Olivier Nora, of course, was sacked by Vincent Bolloré earlier in the year.

Nora, of course, a highly respected figure, highly respected editor within French publishing.

He's back.

It looks like he's gone to Editis, which is another one of the big publishing groups.
