Magritte & Tintin in Brussels
My piece about the new museums in Belgium dedicated to surrealist Rene Magritte and Tintin-creator Herge has been published in today’s Globe&Mail. Read it here before rushing out to buy a bowler hat of your own.

A certain Thierry Keruzoré sent this message to me in response to this article. I found it confusing mostly because I stand as an example of the failure of French education system in Ontario. My very French friend Simon Wald-Lasowski theorises “Maybe this guy thinks that you’re a French speaker abandoning your roots. Either way It seems Tintin is a touchy subject!” Excellent!
Cher Steve,
les tirades du capitaine Haddock sont-elles traduisibles? Milou et Snowy sont-ils les mêmes ?
Hergé n’est pas André Breton mais ne se retournerait- il pas dans sa tombe si sa poésie était disneylisiée ?
Ne sous-estimez-pas les Canadiens, ils peuvent lire dans le texte!
Bien à vous.
