Le programme anglophone / English programme
Every year, Le livre sur les quais offers a selection of events in English with visiting international writers; this year, aside from a selection of British and American writers, we will be joined by Andrey Kurkov from Ukraine, Sandaar Kollaard and Tommy Wieringa from the Netherlands, and Han Kang from South Korea.
Our rich programming explores race, the refugee crisis, the legacy of colonisation, history and current affairs as well as the importance of art and literature in our lives.
