American Library in Paris Book Group

Contemporary French Fiction

Sundays, 14h30–16h00 (Closed)

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.

Reading list is determined by the group on a quarterly basis.

October 18: C’était ça ou mourir by Thélyson Orélien
