📖Words & Wonder: A Literary Affair with Nicolas Fargues & Elisa Shua Dusapin✨

For the last Philo Bistro of the year, embark on a fascinating journey into the art of writing with Nicolas Fargues and Elisa Shua Dusapin, two of the most respected writers of their times. Our dynamic duo du soir, authors of the recently published *La Péremption* and *Le vieil incendie*, will share tales and insights about the art of writing in a rare face-off format that promises to be rich and insightful.
Join us for a memorable evening where words come to life, and the magic of storytelling unfolds in the cozy ambiance of the Alliance Française, with the facilitation of our long standing host and writer, Olivier Vojetta.
