Tuesday, January 17th, 2023 @ 19:00
Maison Internationale des Associations, Rue des Savoises 15, 1205 Genève, Geneva
Famous for its folklore and storytelling, West Africa has also produced a series of contemporary authors whose works remain largely unknown to wider global audiences.
For this first GVA book club session of 2023, we will look at a selection of books stemming from the region and chose one that will serve as a springboard into knowing more about its people and their destinies.
Location: Maison des Associations, salle Albert Jacquard
Presenter: Camille
Starting time: 7:15 PM
Format:
Part 1: presenter(s) provide a short overview of the pre-selected books, highlighting some of the reviews and critics and other relevant background. Members who have read any of the books can contribute.
Part 2: participants are invited to introduce any book that they would like to recommend and provide a short overview thereof (on a voluntarily basis).
Part 3: participants vote to select the book to be discussed in one of the upcoming book discussion meetings.
We look forward to seeing you all!
