1 - "Northanger Abbey" J. Austen ; 2 - "Cadavre Exquis" A. Bazterrica
Sun, Oct 11, 3:00 PMCe soir, dans le cadre du cycle gĂ©nĂ©ral, nous avons votĂ© : **1 - "Northanger Abbey" de Janes Austen** "Par sa gaucherie, ses rĂȘveries naĂŻves et son engouement pour les vieux chĂąteaux, Catherine Morland semble loin des modĂšles de vertu. Mais si cette jeune Bovary dĂ©licatement british n'a rien d'une hĂ©roĂŻne, c'est que Jane Austen s'amuse ! Et nous emporte, d'une plume malicieuse, d'un bout Ă l'autre du plus moderne des romans austeniens.." Babelio **2 - "Cadavre exquis" de Augustina Bazterrica** "Un virus a fait disparaĂźtre la quasi-totalitĂ© des animaux de la surface de la Terre. Pour pallier la pĂ©nurie de viande, des scientifiques ont créé une nouvelle race, Ă partir de gĂ©nomes humains, qui servira de bĂ©tail pour la consommation. Ce roman est lâhistoire dâun homme qui travaille dans un abattoir et ressent un beau jour un trouble pour une femelle de «âŻpremiĂšre gĂ©nĂ©rationâŻÂ».." Babelio ***On peut lire l'un ou les deux livres programmĂ©s.*** **Pour les prĂ©sentations d'auteurs :** \- Richard nous fera une prĂ©sentation de Jane Austen pour donner du contexte Ă nos discussions ; \- Margot fera une prĂ©sentation d'auteur soit d' Agustina Bazterrica pendant une dizaine de minutes\. **Pour les focus sur l'oeuvre :** \- Margot fait le focus sur l'oeuvre de" Cadavre exquis" ; - Je fais le focus sur l'oeuvre soit "Northanger Abbey" Et n'oubliez pas !

BOOKCLUB: Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs
Thu, Oct 8, 5:00 PMLet's get together with a coffee or drink and discuss this book :) * Address to be announced. * Limited spaces to ensure a nice discussion. Please only join if you can attend. * **Confirmation and Location via our Whatsapp group :)** About the book: *Naked Lunch* is one of the most important novels of the twentieth century, a book that redefined not just literature but American culture. An unnerving tale of a narcotics addict unmoored in New York, Tangier, and ultimately a nightmarish wasteland known as Interzone, its formal innovation, taboo subject matter, and tour de force execution have exerted a significant influence on authors like Thomas Pynchon, J. G. Ballard, and William Gibson; on the relationship of art and obscenity; and on the shape of music, film, and media generally. Naked Lunch: The Restored Text includes many editorial corrections to errors present in previous editions, and incorporates Burroughsâs notes on the text, several essays he wrote over the years about the book, and an appendix of 20 percent new material and alternate drafts from the original manuscript, which predates the first published version. For the Burroughs enthusiast and the neophyte, this volume is a valuable and fresh experience of this classic of our culture.

BRING-YOUR-OWN-BOOK CLUB
Sun, Oct 4, 8:00 AMA Sunday book club brought to you by Paris Lit Up. As a break from the Sunday Writing Sessions, join us at NeuviĂšme Sauvage for a Bring-Your-Own-Book Club, part of the final day of Paris Lit Upâs inaugural IGNITE! Festival and the launch of our new monthly book club. For this first session, thereâs no assigned reading. Instead, bring a book of your ownâsomething youâre currently reading, something you love, something you hate, something youâve been meaning to finish, or simply something youâd like to talk about. From 10:00 to 12:00, weâll get together over coffee and breakfast to talk books, swap recommendations, discover what everyone else has been reading, and share whatever has caught our attention lately. Fiction, poetry, nonfiction, graphic novels, essays, experimental writing and everything in between are welcome. This session will also officially launch Paris Lit Upâs monthly book club. During the morning, weâll put forward suggestions and choose our first book together, which weâll read over the following month and meet again to discuss in November. So bring a book, bring a recommendation, or simply bring yourself. You donât need to have finished anything, prepared anything, or even know what you want to recommendâyouâre just as welcome to come along, listen and discover something new to read. The Bring-Your-Own-Book Club is free to attend. NeuviĂšme Sauvage 20 Rue GĂ©rando, 75009 Paris Sunday 4 October, 10:00â12:00 When you arrive, go up two levels. Youâll find us on the top floor. All readers, genres and literary tastes are welcome. For more information: info@parislitup.com
