Gerard Depardieu's Innocent, forthcoming in English

NEW YORK - July 5, 2017 - PRLog -- Contra Mundum Press is seeking support for the translation rights to Gerard Depardieu's critically acclaimed INNOCENT. In the book, Depardieu presents fervent reflections on friendship, cinema, religion, politics and more, espousing a notion of innocence that calls us to move beyond dogma and ideology and to engage with others with respect, receptivity, and mindfulness. We believe it a necessary if not vital book for our combative and divisive times.
