The International Forum on the Novel 2008 / "The novel: what an invention!" (Christian Bourgois, 2008)
Le Monde / La Villa Gillet
Éditions Christian Bourgois
« Neither a bookfair nor a conference, the International Forum on the Novel is something else entirely. This annual event seeks to combine two different experiences: that of writing and that of reading. These are two experiences, two pleasures, but also two ways of asking questions about the world and of attempting to understand it. »
Robert Solé, Le Monde
« Literature invites us to understand, to question, to put reality aside to probe, to examine, to open our eyes, to listen, talk and explore. It takes the risk of vigilance, of the unexpected and of originality. The texts brought together in this anthology demonstrate this power of fiction to question life and the world around us. The aim of the International Forum on the Novel is to give a voice to literary thought. »
Guy Walter, Villa Gillet)
