Surrender to the cementeri, the latest mystery novel by Joan Ganhaire

The author

Joan Ganhaire (in French Jean Ganiayre) was born on May 21, 1941 in Agen in Lot et Garonne. Occitan writer, he uses the Limousin dialect. A retired doctor, he studied in Bordeaux before settling in the Périgord countryside, where he became aware of his Occitan identity. His first collection of short stories “Lo Reirlutz” was followed by a second, “Lo Viatge Aquitan” who won the Jaufré Rudel Prize in 2001. He explores many literary genres: the fantastic, the detective novel with “Sorne Trasluc” and the swashbuckling novel with the saga “Dau vent dins las plumes” followed by “Las Islas jos lo sang”. Studied at university (“Lo darrier daus Lobaterras” was one of the works on the CAPES d’Occitan program in 2009), he is considered one of the major writers of contemporary Occitan literature. In addition to her work as a writer Joan Ganhaire, makes voice recordings in the Limousin dialect to produce a book-cd for the CAP’OC but also for the latest Novelum book: Dialògues occitans lemosins by Gilbert Borgés

I like to make readers travel through invented universes but close to our reality. J. Ganhaire
