INTERVIEW – The journalist succeeds François Busnel at the controls of the literary program of France 5, from this Wednesday, September 7 at 9 p.m. And he intends to make his mark.

France Inter listeners can't get over it! Augustin Trapenard ended in June, after eight years on the air,
to “Boomerang”, his morning daily. At 43, while hosting a literary program on the BrutX platform, "Plumard", he wanted a new challenge. However, he did not know then, he said, that François Busnel would offer him to take over from him at the presentation of “La Grande Librairie”. The journalist, who already had "Le Cercle" and "21 cm" on Canal + to his credit, talks about his relationship to literature.

LE FIGARO. - Why did you agree to take over “La Grande Librairie”?

Augustin TRAPENARD. - It's a childhood dream. Bernard Pivot is one of the reasons why I wanted to do this job and, I will even go further, one of the reasons why I am who I am. An hour and a half dedicated to literature in prime time is unique in the world. It is the very illustration of the French cultural exception.
