THE GREAT TALKS OF THE NICE BOOK FESTIVAL

Interview with Yann Queffélec about his book The Sea and Beyond (Calmann-Lévy) hosted by Patrice Zehr

Friday, November 13, 2020 at 5 p.m.

MAMAC Amphitheatre - Nice

The^25th Nice Book Festival, originally planned for May and then postponed in September due to the health crisis, was finally cancelled due to a worrying new health situation, particularly in the Alpes-Maritimes. We will have the pleasure of meeting you for the^25th edition on May 28, 29- 30, 2021, at the Albert^1st Garden with nearly 200 authors.

In the meantime, and in order to maintain a literary programme for the year 2020, the City of Nice offers "The great interviews of the Nice Book Festival" from 2 October to 28 November, a series of interviews followed by signing sessions with those who make the book news. The link between writers and readers in Nice is thus preserved...
