Come and play (simple) Bridge (cardgame) at the library! Engage in a brain-stimulating sport: the Mini Bridge Exclusive Society. Discover, learn and play Mini Bridge in a relaxed, casual and informal ambiance. Mini Bridge, as developed by MBES allows and encourages

• conversations while playing the game,
• comments and remarks before, during and after the game,
• second thoughts,
• not taking oneself too seriously,

…in a nutshell, MBES (Mini Bridge Exclusive Society) proposes a different concept from the competing conventional Bridge Clubs.

It is free and open to members of the library. Please contact the library to join!

Alexander Dickow is a poet, novelist, translator, and scholar of literature. Originally from Idaho in the northwestern United States, he writes in both French and English.

Alexander will focus on the relationships between three of his works: his latest book (in English), The Distance, and You In It, which is a narrative and dramatic poem (BlazeVOX Books, 2025), and the second is Le Premier Souper, a science fiction novel in French from La Volte (2021) as well as the new novel he is currently working on, also science fictional and also in French. Alexander will talk about how his works in French and English are different, what makes him write in both languages, and the role of translation in his work. 

Free and open to the public.  No reservation necessary.

This event is in partnership with Maison Julien Gracq.

Literary Works: The Distance, and You In It (BlazeVOX Books, 2025), Le Premier Souper (La Volte, 2021), Déblais (Louise Bottu, 2022), Appétits (La Rumeur Libre, 2022), Rhapsodie curieuse (Louise Bottu, 2017).
