Stories Shaped by Villa Albertine 

Zeno by Lea Hirschfield

Discover books by our residents, enriched during their immersive stays in the United States.

Villa Albertine, the French Institute for Culture and Education, fosters cultural exchange between the U.S., France, and beyond. Each year, it hosts over 60 artists, writers, and thinkers for exploratory residencies across the U.S., spanning all disciplines.

The books showcased below emerged from our literary residencies—works shaped by unique encounters and in-depth research conducted throughout the country.

Part of the selection is featured in the Albertine Collection, a collaboration between Villa Albertine and French publisher Éditions du Seuil.
