Chavirer: A Conversation with Lola Lafon and Laure Murat

Join novelist Lola Lafon and author and UCLA professor Laure Murat on November 22 at 2pm as they discuss Lafon’s bestselling and widely acclaimed novel, Chavirer, just published in France (Actes Sud).

If we had to name a secret thread that connect the novels of Lola Lafon, it would have to be: they all form an invitation to listen to muted young girls, from the heroines of Mercy, Mary, Patty, to Nina Comanecci (The Little Communist Who Never Smiled) to Chloe, at the center of Chavirer, Lola Lafon’s masterful new novel. Lafon’s characters bears witness to the violence inflicted on women in our societies.

In French. Kindly RSVP here to attend.

This talk is free and open to our online community. Nevertheless, in order to support Albertine during these challenging times, we would greatly appreciate it if you purchased either a French or an English copy of Chavirer at our store.
