Peter Graham (writer)
[1] Graham was born on 8 December 1939 in Newbury, Berkshire, and grew up in London with his parents (Richard, an advertising copywriter, and Anne, née Scratchley, previously a ballet dancer) and sister Elizabeth.[10] This was followed by Au bout des fusils / At Gunpoint (1971), a semi-documentary exposé of scandalous hunting practices in the Sologne, a wooded area south of Orléans where he shared a house at the time.The film, part tribute to Jean Renoir's The Rules of the Game (1939) and its celebrated hunting scene, is notable for its cinematography by Polish director Walerian Borowczyk.[18]In recent years, Graham wrote mainly for his culinary blog Chez Gram: his articles expertly exploring the meaning of the words used in French cooking.[22] Housed in what had been Graham's barn, the museum is dedicated to celebrating and reviving the culture of a local speciality, Mourjou being set in the hilly, chestnut-covered area of La Châtaigneraie (Cantal).
