Reading marathon "Prisons" with Ludovic-Hermann Wanda
Do you like reading aloud? Come and read a few pages of a humorous story in French and talk about the suburbs.
The hero and narrator of "Prisons" is Frédéric, a young black drug dealer. He is arrested and finds himself in prison, surrounded by suburban guys like him. He led a fight there: teaching French. He began with Richard, his cellmate devastated by the use of drugs. A difficult task, but he transmits his passion for reading. His cellmate metamorphoses! In prison, Frédéric decides to resume university studies.
A novel about the prisons of our society, real or domestic. A testimony of hope about the benefits of books and culture.
This collaborative show, hosted by comedian Padrig Vion, is a marathon of reading: the volunteers take turns to read aloud a few pages of the novel.
Gifts to win for those who read aloud!
The evening will end with a meeting with Ludovic-Hermann Wanda, author of the novel, moderated by Renaud Mathieu.
An evening organized in collaboration with the editions of the Antilope and the bookstore Gibert Joseph, and in partnership with the House of Writers and Literature.
Free admission, registration recommended for reading aloud
