Needles loaned and stitches guided.

Reading “One Hundred Days with Virginia” by Marcelline Roux 

Although not a specialist on the writings of Virginia Woolf, Marcelline Roux (an author by her own right) undertook an ambious project of spending 100 days reading, digesting and recycling in her own reponse the journals of Virginia Woolf. This talk is a presentation in French about the project followed by readings in English from the diaries of Virginia Woolf and Marcelline’s own inspired entries in French. “Living on a day-to-day basis with an author: what does that bring forward? Placing the portraits on the shelf of my library, keeping the French edition of the journals on my writing desk at all times allowed me to imagine how Virginia spent her days and consequently how to better mine.”

This event is free and open to the public and is organised with the support of the MIEL. No resevations required.

Flash Covid-19: this workshop has been maintained for a maximum of 12 participants.

Come to this writing workshop conducted in French by Marcelline Roux.

En amont de la  lecture bilingue du même matin, Marcelline va proposer à une douzaine de lecteurs d’expérimenter cette forme « d’écriture-lecture » avec l’univers woolfien. Cette mise en pratique serait une entrée concrète dans l’univers de Virginia Woolf et enrichirait la discussion d’après lecture. Expérimenter une démarche littéraire est une façon participative et conviviale de partager des questionnements. Cet atelier n’est pas uniquement réservé aux lecteurs expérimentés, mais à tous les curieux!

This event is free and open to the public and is organised with the support of the MIEL. Sign-ups can be made by sending an email.
