'We have novels, stories, short stories, etc. », said William Combary. The lieutenant-colonel was also delighted that the grievances expressed during the previou s edition by the literary exhibitors had been taken into account. 'We expressed the need for a better setting because last year we were in the open air. But this year we are in an air-conditioned pavilion,' he appreciated. The same assessment was made by the writer Hamidou Zonga who said he was satisfied with the literary exhibition framework of this edition. 'This year, I take my hat off to the organizers. We are in an air-conditioned marquee, which protects us from bad weather. Last year, the rain wet the exhibitors' documents. Visitors also had difficulty visiting the stands because of the heat. But this year frankly we are very satisfied,' he declared. Source: Burkina Information Agency
