La Nuit de la Littérature
Celle que tu vois, Catherine Prasifka

For this year's Nuit de la Littérature, international literature is gathered in the heart of Paris at the CCI. Twenty authors will be present to share their stories, read their texts in their own voices, and sign books. Don't forget to bring a book for the book exchange box, you'll be able to leave with a new one!
Admission is free, and doors will open as from 2:15pm.
Find the full programme on the FICEP website.

At 7:40pm, Irish author Catherine Prasifka will present her latest novel This Is How You Remember It, translated by Laetitia Devaux and published by Globe as Celle que tu vois. Both violent and tender, This Is How You Remember It is a striking coming-of-age novel about self-esteem and body image in the digital age. Catherine Prasifka offers a deeply accurate and unsettling portrait of a generation growing up with screens - one in which adolescent spontaneity is damaged yet ultimately prevails. Chilling, potent and intensely intimate, This Is How You Remember It is about a life lived online - and about finding another way when it’s all you’ve ever known.

"A potent time capsule." Irish Independent

Nuit de la Littérature will come to a close with a concert at 9:30pm. June Carousel is the name of Berlin-based Irish/German indie-folk duo Tricia Collins and Meret Ester. Both are accomplished singers and multi-instrumentalists whose voices blend with rich harmonies on guitar, ukulele, and nylon-string banjo to create a sound that is both heartfelt and modern.

La Belle Lurette bookshop will also be present with a selection of books available for purchase for your book signings.

The Nuit de la Littérature is organised by the Forum des instituts culturels étrangers à Paris (FICEP).
