American Library in Paris Book Group
The Art of Travel Writing: Tangier
‘Very likely I’ll draw my last breath here.’
Saturdays, 17h00–18h30 (Spaces Open)
The Fall 2024 season of The Art of…: Paris book group marks a thematic departure from the previous ones: various forms of travel writing figure prominently in the reading list.The first stop in this new The Art of…: Paris adventure is Tangier, Morocco!
During the first half of the 20th century, Tangier was arguably the Paris of North Africa, and a number of American literati called Tangier home. Paul Bowles, Truman Capote and Tennesse Williams will illumine this book group’s forays into Tangier. Meets may include generative sessions.
This group meets on Zoom.
Led by Precious Brown.
