He has written weekly columns for the local newspapers and now contributes a bilingual article (in English and Spanish) to the monthly La Isla magazine. Dennis has recently completed his first novel, Graywake, a surrealistic impression of the Appalachian side of his family.The American Letters are the first-hand account of a not-so-innocent abroad, who travels to a French village for an international convention of towns who share the name, “Beaufort.” He quickly learns lessons never taught in the textbooks about customs and attitudes, from hosts who know the true meaning of “hospitalité.” A journey to Paris caps the narrative, with quite different surprises in store. The completely bilingual text in English and French is a useful resource for learners of either language.Dennis Adams est né dans une famille militaire de deux veterans et travaille à la Bibliothèque de Comté de Beaufort, Caroline du Sud -- au beau milieu de Parris Island, la Station Aérienne du Corps des Marines, l’Hôpital Naval et le Cimitière National. Il a écrit des rubriques hebdomadaires pour les journals du coin et contribue un article bilingue (en anglais et espagnol) à la revue mensuelle La Isla. Dennis vient d’écrire son premier roman, Graywake, une impression surréaliste du côté appalachien de sa famille.Les letters américaines donnent une première approche aux aventures d’un pas-aussi-innocent à l’étranger, qui voyage à un village français pour assistir à un rassemblement international de villes qui partagent le nom “Beaufort.” Il apprend vite des leçons de culture et d’attitude que n’offrent jamais les manuels, que lui enseignent des hôtes qui savent bien ce qui veut dire “l’hospitalité.” Un voyage à Paris couronne le vouyage, avec d’autres surprises. Le texte, complètement bilingue, sert de ressource utile pour ceux qui apprennent l’anglais ou le français.Pictured: Dennis (with MilSpeak Books editor Sally Drumm) just after signing with MilSpeak Books.visualizza meno
