On Friday, September 19, join Villa Albertine for the highlight of the season: Literary Fall, a celebration of new French and Francophone literature.

Hear from experts and leaders in the French and American book industries as they share their favorite novels and insights. Join lively conversations with authors, publishers, booksellers, curators, and influencers as we explore the evolving concept of French literature and what American readers may look for in French novels today.

The program features leading figures from the American literary scene, including Sarah McNally, founder and CEO of McNally Jackson, as well as publishers Michael Reynolds (Europa Editions), Barbara Epler (New Directions), Edwin Frank (NYRB), and Dan Simon (Seven Stories), Jillian Kravatz and Emma Raddatz (Archipelago), alongside other distinguished guests. Alyssa Reeder, co-founder of the popular book club Library Science, will deliver closing remarks.

The event will conclude with a cocktail reception.
