Au dernier moment avant de repartir, alors que nous étions déjà tous dans la voiture, nous nous sommes arrêtés, pour prendre de l'essence sûrement, et j'ai demandé à sortir pour aller fûreter rapidement dans le rayon presse du magasin devant lequel nous étions. J'en suis revenu, délesté de 6 francs, avec dans les mains le n° 116 du magazine Best, daté de mars 1978 et donc sorti courant février. Cela faisait sûrement une bonne année que j'avais commencé à m'intéresser sérieusement à la musique, en achetant plus de disques, en écoutant la radio, en en discutant avec les copains, et en leur empruntant disques et revues, mais, à presque quinze ans, c'est la première fois que j'ai acheté en kiosque au moment de sa sortie l'un des deux titres phares de la presse rock de l'époque, Rock & Folk et Best.

    CREATIVE NONFICTION Exemplars from the Write the World Archives Searching for a better understand of creative nonfiction? Look no further! The extraordinary essays reprinted below demonstrate the artistry of weaving together scene and refection, capturing singular experience within universal themes, and hopscotching through time by flashing forward and jumping back. These captivating narratives offer secrets to what this genre is all about. Enjoy! King of the Hill Hannahjs (US) Snow ate the children alive, froze the bodies of squirrels brave enough to leave their hidey- holes and resisted the cavalry of road salt trucks, and yet we got in our cars each morning when I lived in the great state of Indiana. Eight inches, nine, a foot of marshmallow fluff could eat up all the details of the earth and I would still wake up to don thick snow pants and walk to the family minivan. Driving through snowbanks is a tactical maneuver, an art, my father gripping the steering wheel like a Bible and whirring the engine’s pistons into a furious buzz. Back then, I was never late for school. I couldn't be, since December was the month of our war-game. I had a friend then, Carrie, a faithful right-hand-man in every aspect of my life but especially in the battles of the cold months. We would don snow pants and puffy coats, pink mittens and ear muffs, and wrestle in the game "King of the Hill", played annually on the snowbank the plows created by our playground. I’d whisper plans into her ear.
