Seminar on French literature and criticism

Contemporary French literature is constantly making its mark on Norwegian public life, with publications which attract attention and arouse debate. But what does the French literary discussion look like from the inside? We have invited Le Monde critic Raphaëlle Leyris to Bergen to give us some insights.

The seminar is organized in collaboration with Institut Francais.

The seminar is in English, free of charge and open to all. Critics can reserve a seat by contacting the festival administration.
