(This section brought to you by Marie Houzelle, with some additions from Jennifer K Dick)

19 September 7:00 P.M. Barbara Hammond Eva the Chaste, a new monologue play. A special performance just outside Shakespeare and Company (please note the play will be cancelled if there is rain). It takes place in that hour when night turns to dawn on a June morning on Dublin’s Coast Road, where, after 20 years in Paris, Eva has returned to her birthplace to face the consequences of an act of love. Aedin Moloney, whose mesmerizing interpretation of Molly Bloom’s soliloquy in James Joyce’s Ulysses brings the house down every year at Colum McCann’s Bloomsday celebration, performs. Barbara Hammond is a 2010 Edward Albee Fellow, and her plays and film have been seen and won awards from Queensland, Australia to Dublin, Ireland – but mainly in New York City where she is a long-time resident of the Lower East Side.

21 Sept à 19h : Parole aux sages et aux fous : La Renaissance d'une revue culte des années 80 « Soldes fins de séries », revue belge d’art et d'essai très appréciée d’Andy Warhol, est de retour, après une pause de deux décennies. Ce magazine des ouvriers philosophes et des intellos bricoleurs prône l’hybridité et les métissages et s’affirme résolument hors mode: BD, littérature, illustration, journalisme, musique, dessin, philosophie, graphisme, humour, gravités. La nouvelle formule annuelle de Soldes est présentée lors d’une soirée animée par Jean-Louis Sbille avec l’équipe de rédaction: Damien MacDonald, Michel Renard et Marc Borgers. Philippe Lardy, Martès Batory, Delphine Duprat & Julien Kedryna réalisent en direct des illustrations.

22 September, 7:00 P.M. Rencontre avec CATHY BERNHEIM, PASCALE MOLINIER et (sous réserve) ELSA DORLIN pour le lancement du n° 42 de la revue MULTITUDES "Gouines rouges et viragos vertes" - Ce numéro de la revue Multitudes est consacré au féminisme. Ce dossier parcourt la situation du féminisme et des luttes propres aux femmes en reprenant deux versants essentiels. L’un d’eux est consacré aux luttes et aux protagonistes du féminisme des années 60-70 et tourne principalement autour de la question des "gouines rouges". Ce terme de "gouines rouges" permet de dégager les axes essentiels de la problématique féministe de ces années-là, qui a oscillé entre affirmation sexuelle et lutte de classe. Le second versant porte sur la situation du féminisme à l’heure actuelle et se caractérise par ce nouveau penchant de "viragos vertes". Ce concept rend alors visibles les nouveaux tournants du féminisme : allant de nouvelles pratiques et groupes de luttes politiques aux nouvelles questions, économique et écologique. Un dossier qui s’annonce, volontairement, provoquant et provocateur afin de jeter de nouvelles vues sur la question. Ont participé à ce dossier : Pascale Molinier, Sandra Laugier, Anne Sauvagnargues, Elsa Dorlin, Cathy Bernheim, Anne Querrien, Julia Taddei, Marie-Hélène Bourcier, Antonella Corsani, Sylvie Tissot, Chantal Latour, Beatriz¨Preciado, Virginie Despentes, Empar Pineda, Cristina Garaizabal, Isabelle Stengers, Starhawk, Vinciane Desprez.

23 September 7:00 P.M. To launch Festival America, two authors, Ethan Canin & Aleksandar Hemon, will present their latest novels. Ethan Canin will read from and discuss America America. Ethan Canin’s stunning novel is about America as it was and is, a remarkable exploration of how vanity, greatness, and tragedy combine to change history and fate. Ethan Canin is the author of six books, including the story collections Emperor of the Air and The Palace Thief and the novels For Kings and Planets and Carry Me Across the Water. He is on the faculty of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop and divides his time between Iowa and northern Michigan. He is also a physician. Aleksandar Hemon will read from and discuss The Lazarus Project. This stunning novel begins with the story of nineteen-year-old Lazarus Averbuch, an Eastern European Jewish immigrant, who was shot to death on the doorstep of the Chicago chief of police and cast as a would-be anarchist assassin. A century later, a young Eastern European writer in Chicago named Brik becomes obsessed with Lazarus's story. Brik enlists his friend Rora - a war photographer from Sarajevo - to join him in retracing Averbuch's path. Through a history of pogroms and poverty, and a prism of a present-day landscape of cheap mafiosi and even cheaper prostitutes, the stories of Averbuch and Brik become inextricably intertwined, creating a truly original, provocative, and entertaining novel that confirms Aleksandar Hemon as one of the most dynamic and essential literary voices of our time. The Lazarus Project was Shortlisted for the National Book Award in 2008. Born in Sarajevo, Aleksandar Hemon came to Chicago in 1992. The author of the acclaimed Nowhere Man and The Question of Bruno, he writes stories and essays that appear regularly in The New Yorker, Granta, The Paris Review, and Best American Short Stories.

27 September 7:00 P.M. Anne Marsella will read from The Baby of Belleville, her delightful new novel filled with intrigue, eccentric characters and many surprises. Jane de la Rochefoucault has just brought her firstborn home to her flat in Paris and her world is in chaos. As well as the nappies, the night-time gurgling, and the constant feeding, she can barely move for packing cases and the cumbersome musical instruments that her aristocratic French composer husband keeps inventing. And then one evening, a knock on the door brings some mysterious visitors: three kung fu experts bearing gifts for the baby. When the kung fu trio go missing (along with some cars), Jane and Charles suddenly find themselves being interrogated by two French police inspectors who suspect that the kung fu-ers had links to Muslims Without Borders - an organization dedicated to freeing the brothers wherever they are in chains, and - ma foi! - that Jane’s mother-in-law may have a hand in the whole thing too. Originally from California's San Joaquin Valley, Anne Marsella now lives in Paris with her husband – a jazz musician – and their son. Her previous books are an acclaimed collection of stories, The Lost and Found and Other Stories (NYU Press), Patsy Boone (Editions de la Différence) and the novel Remedy (Portobello, 2007).

28 Sept. 19h. Rufo Quintavalle, Dylan Harris. Rufo Quintavalle was born in London in 1978, studied at Oxford and the University of Iowa, and now lives in Paris where he is an active member of the Anglo literary scene. He is the author of the chapbook, Make Nothing Happen (Oystercatcher, 2009). His work was recently nominated for a Pushcart Prize, and he is one of the invited poets for the 2011 Biennale Internationale de la Poésie en Val de Marne. His poems have appeared in Barrow Street, Versal, Tears in the Fence, Great Works, Shadowtrain, The Wolf, The London Magazine, MiPOesias and elimae. He is on the editorial board for the literary magazine, Upstairs at Duroc and is currently acting poetry editor for the prize-winning webzine, Nthposition. About Rufo, poet Todd Swift writes: “There is no other contemporary English poet quite like Quintavalle: from his extraordinary name (perhaps the most inherently exciting since "Ezra Pound") to his exotically-imagined, deeply-thoughtful, ruefully witty, and sometimes very brief, poems, to his slightly marginalised location across the Channel, he represents a different current - one that, should he continue to write as well over the next few years, will establish him, one hopes, as a key British poet of the 2010s. Check out Rufo’s blog at http://rufoquintavalle.blogspot.com or visit Rewords at http://rewords.blogspot.com/, an ongoing online collaborative writing project where he’s an active participant. Dylan Harris is ... yeah, yeah, I’m running this place, I’m reading, sounds like an ego trip, doesn’t it? Well, you’re right; you want a reading, you sodding well set up your own series (actually, you want a reading, you got a book, you email me; no promises, obviously). I do this, I think it important I say where I am poetically. Anyway, the event that’s most likely to go wrong is the first, so I’m my own guinea pig. And I’ve got my book, antwerp, to launch in France. “full of vivacious, energetic poetry that’s a shock to the ear and mind, a delight. And funny.” (Maurice Scully) “The sonics are so projected and balanced that the words effect their own realisation. I think.” (Peter Riley) “Dylan Harris is an investor a gate–opener an investigator.” (Richard Berengarten).You want to know more about me and my poetry, go browse my website, http://dylanharris.org/.
