By the way ...
I am a graduate of the Master Pro II Translation Literary Paris 7
More importantly, I created a site devoted the literary translation .
I could not do without ...
Music: electro, hip-hop, rock, jazz, classical and contemporary music - before turning to the translation I wanted to be a guitar hero, a "rock superstar" ...

Computing: The Internet has become a working tool essential for me (Google, Grand terminology dictionary, Merriam-Webster Online Bartleby.com ...), my dictionaries on CD-ROM make me win a lot of time, and I'm close to the free software world. So take a look at this website framasoft.org, and if you do not know that Internet Explorer, try Firefox. The son RSS allows me to see at a glance the latest headlines of all newspapers cited above, including through the program Netvibes ... And the site of literary translation I created, which allows me to combine all my passions.
Cinema: a soft spot for black films, Jarmusch, Kubrick, Tim Burton Tarantino and ... Titles: Animal Factory, The Yards, Reservoir Dogs, Heat, Barry Lyndon, The Pianist ... the list is of course too long.
