she’s considered a fun writer expressing herself in a narrative jargon: a sample. Nicolas Sarkozy wants to be president of
France.
Many French people – and outside observers – believe he is the only candidate who could tear this country out of the doldrums of latter day welfare statism, arabesque foreign relations and banileue Eurabian tyranny.
Nidra also speaks for a living. As a novelist she has experimented with fiction as a way of grasping reality and making it come alive. In the summer of 2000, sensing a major world crisis, she turned to writing about current events using novelistic techniques to convey with the lifelike reality upheaval in Europe and the
Middle East.
She began the chronicle in French; Cahier d’une honnête citoyenne was initially addressed to the people, in whose midst she has been living for 3 decades, and to the French media that were betraying civilized values. In 2002 she started publishing excerpts from the Cahier in online media. Since 9/11, and in the wake of virulent anti-Americanism, she has been writing primarily in English. Without abandoning her personal style she has learned how to write for newspapers and magazines. She is the mother of three and grandmother of eight. Nidra hales from Jessup, PA but grew up in
Philadelphia. Degrees from
University of
Wisconsin and Johns Hopkins rounded out her formal education.
