« Since what has made America’s fundamental identity since 2002 – the fraternal sharing of the joy of reading and the pleasure of being at the heart of North American cultures, the mixture of festival-goers and writers, the pleasure of the crowd, of the “being together”, of conviviality and celebration – is called into question because of the health crisis which affects us, we are forced to cancel the 2021 edition, which was already the postponement of that scheduled for September 2020», Say the organizers in a press release.
« We do not wish to distort the spirit of it, and therefore prefer to mobilize ourselves now to make the 2022 festival a real celebration that will celebrate America’s 20 years and mark the 530 years of the arrival of Christopher Columbus in America and of the meeting between the Old and the New World. »
