Paul Gasnier traces how a cousin became a Putin loyalist
A year after the success of 'la Collision,' the journalist-writer publishes a short, personal account of a family member's drift toward Vladimir Putin's worldview.
Paul Gasnier's new book, 'Vladimir m'a pris Vadim,' reaches bookshops on 1 October, published by Lettre Zola, according to Bibliobs (Le Nouvel Obs). It follows the considerable success of his previous book, 'la Collision.'
In the new text, Gasnier writes about one of his closest cousins, Vadim, whose father is Russian, and describes what Bibliobs calls his gradual 'poutinisation.' The outlet reports that the short book is written with sadness, anger and literary care, and has published exclusive excerpts ahead of its release.
No further details on length, structure or specific episodes recounted in the book have been made available by the source.
