A literary treat

There's no doubt that Paris is a literary town. Ernest Hemingway and Henry Miller are but two examples of famous authors who lived in Paris and who really contributed to the literary scene. The tradition continues today with the number of authors passing through to give readings like
Amy Bloom, Louis Erdrich, Cara Black and David Sedaris to name a few. I heard recently that Diane Johnson is coming to promote her new book Lulu in Marrakech.

Such is the appeal of Paris as a literary city that there is as well no shortage of local authors. And I'm happy to say that Red Wheelbarrow Bookstore is hosting two of them for a reading on the 14th of November at 7PM. Red Wheelbarrow invited Anne Marsella to read from her novel Remedy as well as to present her latest novel Patsy Boone. And the other author is Agnes Desarthe, who will be reading from her book Chez Moi. Both are lovely authors whose wonderful books are set in Paris. I'm sure its going to be a great evening and everyone is welcome to join us!
