Mondes Parlés : Portrait du touriste diasporique, dépressif et transsexuel

Within the Mondes Parlés programme, Noah Truong shares excerpts from his novel-in-progress and then opens the floor to a public conversation. The text follows a diasporic, depressed and transsexual tourist in Ho Chi Minh City, as he confronts his own sense of displacement and the expectations he places on the country of his father’s origin. The session is shaped with the complicity of Emmanuelle Pireyre, writer and head of the writing workshop at HEAD – Genève.

In French. Followed by a discussion.
