Meet writer Séphora Pondi at Saint-Germain-en-Laye library
Come and meet Séphora Pondi, author of the novel Avale in competition for the Roman des étudiants France Culture prize!
This meeting, organised by Saint-Germain-en-Laye library in partnership with Science Po Saint-Germain-en-Laye will unfold on Wednesday November 19th. It will take place in building B, room D, from 6:30 P.M to 8 P.M
Séphora Pondi, writer of the novel Avale, will be interviewed by Science Po Saint-Germain students who took part in the workshop led by Sébastien Thème (writer, editor in chief and cultural journalist). The students worked all semester long on the novels in competitition for the prize and prepared the interview of the invited author.
We hope you will be happy to come listen and discuss Avale with Séphora Pondi, writer and actress, intern at the comédie française. Come one, come all ! Her novel displays two enthralling characters.
Here is a summary in order to give you a taste of this novel : Tom, a student in pharmacy who's been bullied, rejected and subject to many sorts of frustrations since his childhood, turned into a man out of his depth and erotomaniac, who is grappling with strange drives to devour. Lame, a rising young black actress, resorts to hypnosis sessions in order to cure her gnawing eczema. The first is a raging monster, the second is an actress in the making realising that the body she wants to offer and watch vibrate upon contact with the world, is out of her control and is putting her in danger. Both paths are tangents until they collide.
If you are interested by the venue, please register by clicking on that link. Don't wait too long, there are only 30 seats ! The event is open to all, high-school students, students, as well as external users, come one, come all !
The novel Avale is also available in several copies at the Saint-Germain-en-Laye library.
The other competing novels of the prix du roman des étudiants France Culture are also available at the Saint-Germain-en-Laye library, if you wish to read them.
