Seven interconnected stories\, brimming with wit and intimacy\, reveal how language and voice shape identity\, obsession\, and connection.  \nIn Eastbound\, a Russian conscript and a French woman cross paths on the Trans-Siberian railroad\, each fleeing to the east for their own reasons. \nThis conversation will be moderated by Donatien Grau\, Head of Contemporary Programs at the Musée du Louvre. \nAbout the speakers:  \nMaylis de Kerangal is the author of numerous novels\, collections of short stories\, novellas and narratives\, published with Verticales\, including Naissance d’un pont (Prix Médicis 2010)\, Tangente vers l’est (Prix Landerneau 2012)\, Réparer les vivants (2014)\, Un monde à portée de main (2018) and Canoës (2021). Her books are translated into thirty-six languages. \nDonatien Grau is a long-time friend and conversation-partner of Maylis de Kerangal.
