How I wrote Mathias et la révolution
Renowned French writer Leslie Kaplan will be discussing (and reading from) her latest novel, Mathias et la révolution (Paris: POL, 2016).
Leslie Kaplan was born in New York in 1943, lives in Paris and writes in French. She is the author of several celebrated novels, among them Le pont de Brooklyn (1987), L’excès-l’usine (1987), a series composed of Miss Nobody Knows (1996), Les prostituées philosophes (1997) and Le psychanalyste (1999), Les amants de Marie (2002); Fever (2005) and Mon Amérique commence en Pologne (2012). Millefeuille won the Wepler Prize in 2012. Her new novel, Mathias et la révolution, was published earlier this year. Her books have often been adapted to the stage, and are translated in several languages.
