Join us for an insightful evening with acclaimed French author Benjamin Hoffmann, whose latest novel Je suis Murakami offers a unique perspective on self-discovery and belonging through an elegant and thought-provoking narrative. Hoffmann’s previous works include Sentinel Island, a captivating tale of the Sentinelese people—one of the last uncontacted tribes on earth—woven with themes of globalization, friendship, and escape.  In Les Minuscules, Hoffmann tells the story of Casanova’s last love and takes the reader on a journey filled with encounters with historical figures such as Mozart and Da Ponte, Leibniz and Voltaire, Diderot and Sade. Moderated by Benoit Landon, librarian at the French Library, this conversation will shed light on Hoffmann's creative process, literary influences, and his journey as a writer.Our author talk will be followed by a Q&A session, with a book signing and a glass of wine! Language: The event will be held in English, with select excerpts from his books read in French. Book Pre-Sales: Copies of Je suis Murakami are available for pre-order through the French Library and can be picked up in advance of the event. Ticket information here...
