American Library in Paris Book Group

Contemporary French Fiction

Sundays, 14h30–16h00 (Spaces Open)

We read contemporary French fiction as yet untranslated into English. Once each term we also pick a 20th Century French classic to read. Together our group chooses books from the new French novels which come out in September each year. We decide the titles by a vote each quarter.

We also invite some of the authors when possible, and we regularly organize theatre outings to see new French plays.

Led by Helen Stanton.
