With : Aurélien Bellanger, Jorge Volpi

 

Literature is that special place where history with a capital “H” can be combined with individual histories to paint the portrait of a world where things work, and occasionally where they no longer seem to work. Destinies blend with and succeed each other, revealing a humanity that is sometimes active and sometimes passive, that walks with halting steps toward modernity. How does literature help us see how reality is changing and turn the reader into an honored witness of an era?
