Join us for a special live recording of the BBC World Book Club at the Library, featuring celebrated French novelist Laurent Binet.
First published in 2010, HHhH won the Prix Goncourt du Premier Roman and has been translated into more than 40 languages. In a boldly self-questioning narrative, Laurent Binet places himself inside the story, constantly interrogating his own choices as a writer and probing the fragile boundary between truth, memory and our relationship with history. This daring approach has made HHhH a landmark of modern French literature, acclaimed by readers and critics worldwide.
World Book Club is presented by Harriett Gilbert, who will lead the discussion and put questions to Laurent sent in by listeners from around the world, alongside questions from you – our audience in the room. The event offers a rare opportunity to hear a major contemporary author connect directly with our international community of book lovers.
The conversation will be recorded in English for the BBC World Service.
