From March 10 to 28, the Bron Book Festival adapts to the epidemic situation and offers many online events, for young and old. This Saturday March 13, meeting with Lola Lafon.
The Bron Book Festival began this Wednesday March 10. Coronavirus obliges, the events concocted for this 35th edition will take place online. This year, the festival is inspired by Albert Camus, and more particularly by his essay Back to Tipasa, a certain passage of which sadly echoes the current situation: “In the middle of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer”. An “invincible summer” is therefore the theme chosen this year, for a 100% digital event, from March 10 to 28. On the program, major interviews and usual events, this time online, but also new formats such as podcasts, workshops or mini-documentaries. The opportunity to draw some ideas from this forced digital experience, and transform the dapper event website in “a real digital media around literature, human sciences and children’s literature”.
This Saturday March 13, return to childhood with the famous Ernest and Celestine in the morning, then a more vigorous end of the morning with a podcast by sociologist Bruno Latour on confinement, its repercussions and, why not, the positive elements to be drawn from it. At 4 p.m., meet Guillaume Guéraud for a reading of his latest novel, Children of thunder: Lightning in the valley, then with Lola Lafon who will end the day in style with a live on the writing process from A to Z of her latest novel, Capsize.
