La Grande Librairie: “It’s always my fault”, Augustin Trapenard plays cards on the table before his debut

Augustin Trapenard has literature under his skin. Literally, since he had passages of his favorite novels tattooed on his body. The unconditional fan of literature passed by Canal + (The Big Newspaper), Raw (plumard) and France Inter (Boomerang) returns to the cameras on Wednesday September 7 at 9 p.m. to take control of the new season of The Great Bookstore. He will thus inherit the post of François Busnel who staged his transfer of power on the occasion of the 500th program of the program on July 6th. With The Great BookstoreAugustin Trapenard will pursue the mission that has driven him since his brief career as a professor of Anglo-Saxon literature: transmitting a taste for language and literature.

“ One of the conditions of my arrival was to have total freedom from the editorial point of view, from the questioning and from the programming “says Augustin Trapenard in an interview with our colleagues from Tele-Leisure. To maintain the spirit of the most famous literary program of the PAF, the presenter can count on the help of his producer who is none other than… François Busnel! How then to bring a new color? Prioritize eclecticism. ” Everything is possible “. A failed interview? A “bad customer”? ” It’s always my fault “replies Augustin Trapenard, showing a rare modesty.

Augustin Trapenard is not afraid to question himself

Augustin Trapenard surely knows the wise advice given by Uncle Ben to Peter Park, a quote that we owe to another great literature buff, Winston Churchill: “ With great power comes great responsibility “. The new presenter The Great Bookstore play cards on the table: When we do our jobs, we talk so we have a certain form of power. You have to accept distrust, questioning, otherwise you don’t do this job. “No question for him to cause the buzz. ” My own goal is to highlight unique writings, artists who have something to say about the world. And for that, it means listening to them. For sure, Augustin Trapenard will take up his new mission with flying colors.
