The conversations between French and American authors that constitute the seven one-hour sessions of the Festival of New French Writing will each pair one French and one American writer, confronting their respective experiences and ambitions with respect to literary creation. Each animated by an American cultural critic familiar with the literatures of the two countries, the dialogues will explore the singular qualities of each author, national similarities and differences, as well as the future of literature.

The availability of simultaneous interpretation will enable all participants to express themselves in their own language.

all events will be held in hemmerdinger hall, ground floor, silver center, new york university,
