Ami lecteur, lectrice mon amour,

The idea of an English version of du9 is not a recent one — indeed, back in the days around 1999, we already had a couple of interviews and reviews available for our French-impaired readers. But when (like the phenix) the site was relaunched in September 2005, we had other priorities to attend to, and the English part was left aside for later use.

Well, later use is now. Of course, we are not planning to translate everything on du9 — with now more than 800 (longish) articles, it would be a daunting task. But we will try and add new translations on a regular basis, focusing on little-reviewed authors or titles that we think would interest an English-speaking audience. Suggestions and wishes are welcome, but might take time before they are answered.

So reader my friend, reader my love, welcome to “du9 in English”, and let’s hope that this trip will be full of discoveries and eye-opening moments. Good readdance,
