Month of author reading: meet renowed French writers

by Michal Kašpárek on June 29, 2010

Claire Legendre, performing on Wednesday, July 14, at 7 p.m.

Every year, Brno-based publishing house Větrné mlýny is organising a fresh cultural event, A month of autor reading. This July, you may enjoy performances of popular and influental French writers; they are going to read aloud their works in theatre Husa na provázku.

Check out the complete programme – I do not know almost anything about the contemporary French literature so I am not able to highlight any performer. I will be glad if you do that in the comments.

The shows start at 7 p.m. and you may pay any entrance fee you wish.

You’d better understand French – the performances will be only translated to Czech by screened subtitles.
