THE FRENCH AUTHOR THOMAS SCOTTO VISITS ISD TO DISCUSS WITH GRADE 11 & 12 STUDENTS. HE SHARES WITH US HIS PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND

  • Dad/Writer

He started writing at the age of 21, when his first daughter was born. Did you know he wanted to be a baker before that? Even if they are his main source of inspiration, he never recounts the life of his daughters, but dedicates his books to them. In conclusion, SCOTTO considers himself a dad who writes.

 

  • Solitary/Society

He really enjoys meeting young people in order to give explanations about his works. He prefers to write short things: he takes advantage of his travels to write. He likes to be alone but often finds himself with other people.

 

  • Patient/In a hurry

He claims to be very patient. When he was younger, he began to write a comic strip which was refused by his publisher. Fifteen years later, the same publisher accepts his idea, and after four years, “Khodja”, a story about the passage from childhood to adolescence, is revealed to the public.

 

  • Written/Oral

SCOTTO is curious to know the different interpretations of her albums on stage, how the illustrator represents her text, putting her share of imagination into it.
