Part of Litquake’s Words Around the WorldCo-presented with Villa Albertine and sponsored by Center for the Art of Translation/Two Lines Press
Villa Albertine and Litquake present French author Christine Angot in a discussion of her influential novels Incest and The Impossible Love. In Incest, Angot explores her personal turmoil through a fragmented narrative about a woman named Christine, grappling with the end of a relationship and the trauma of her father's incestuous abuse. In contrast, The Impossible Love delves into the passionate yet doomed romance between Angot's parents, Rachel and Pierre, set against the backdrop of 1950s France. Angot's discussion with Stanford professor Cécile Alduy will offer insights into her powerful storytelling and the deep emotional landscapes she navigates in her work.
