JOURNEYS AROUND ONE’S ROOM

Focus on French contemporary fiction

Discussion in French with translation

Alleviating the burden of lockdown, books allowed for imagination to travel, to go for what Xavier de Maistre called journeys around one’s room. For its first post-lockdown public event at the library, the French Institute in London invites you to meet and discuss with three writers who brightened and widened our confined days: Lucie Paye, author of Les Cœurs inquiets (Gallimard, 2020), Arnaud de la Grange, author of Le Huitième soir (Gallimard, 2019), Olivier Dorchamps, author of Ceux que je suis (Finitude, 2019).
