«Apostrophes, Culture Broth, Dual I, Writing, Football, Gluttony, Interview, Journalism, Newsstand, Reading, Words. Damn it” was how Bernard Pivot defined himself on Twitter. The writer, anchorman, and lover of words, who handled humor and mischief like no one else, died at the age of 89 on Monday, May 6, 2024. He had been battling illness for several years after passing on his passion for books to entire generations.
