An Intimate Literary Panel Discussion with Christine Leunens and Hervé Le Tellier
Between Borders and Imagination: Crafting Literary Characters in a Globalised World
Join us for an intimate and thought-provoking panel discussion with internationally acclaimed authors Hervé Le Tellier, winner of the Prix Goncourt 2020, and Christine Leunens.
Through a rich and engaging conversation, discover L’Anomalie, recipient of France’s most prestigious literary award , and Caging Skies, the powerful novel that inspired the Oscar-winning film Jojo Rabbit. Together, these works invite us to question the very nature of reality and humanity.
The discussion will explore profound and timely themes: the fragility of identity, the boundaries between reality and illusion, moral responsibility in times of crisis, the impact of ideology and indoctrination, and the complexities of love and human connection under extreme circumstances. By weaving together speculative fiction and historical narrative, the authors offer striking perspectives on how individuals navigate uncertainty, belief, and choice.
This exclusive event offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from two major literary voices, gain deeper insight into their creative processes, and engage in a meaningful dialogue at the crossroads of literature, history, and philosophy.
