Patrick Chamoiseau

Last night was unforgettable! We had the honor of hosting celebrated author Patrick Chamoiseau, who shared his thoughts on literature, identity, and the power of creoleness. American University Professor of Francophone Studies Charlie Verstraet led an inspiring conversation that left us all captivated. Huge thanks to Sarah Diligenti, Executive Director of the Alliance Française; Lynda Frenois, Cultural Attaché of the French Embassy/Villa Albertine for sponsoring this magical evening; and Margaret Goldsborough, owner of Goldsborough Glynn Antique Furnishings and Finds, for hosting us in their beautiful space, and Melissa Fast for her invaluable help. Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate the beauty of language, literature and culture. Swipe through to relive some of the incredible moments!”
