Since 1975, La Librairie du Boulevard in Plainpalais has operated as a cooperative bookstore renowned for its humanities-focused selection, including fiction, children’s literature, and works from independent and local publishers. The bookstore regularly organizes author events, discussions, and readings, creating a space for exchange and engagement within the community.
Join us for an evening with authors Elisa Shua Dusapin and Anne-Sophie Subilia to celebrate the publication of their latest novels with Editions Zoé. In “Sauf la frontière”, Elisa Shua Dusapin reflects on a journey to southern Lebanon on 7 October 2023, and her subsequent return to the Middle East, exploring borders, intuition, and conflict. In Glissando, Anne-Sophie Subilia portrays the life of Béa, overwhelmed after the birth of her second child, in a moving and poetic exploration of motherhood, family, and wonder.
The discussion will be moderated by Chloé Brendlé and followed by a reception.
Daniel de Roulet, Swiss author, presents his latest novel and reflects on contemporary Swiss society. The conversation is moderated by Isabelle Falconnier, journalist and literary critic.
The book follows three Helvetic characters who, born at the end of the Second World War, challenge political compromise, financial power and bourgeois norms. De Roulet examines underground movements from Davos to modern occupations, exploring identity, dissent and the social forces that shape radical trajectories.
