Ongoing in March:
Pick a country, pick an author!
Normally we bland all our French literature together regardless of author's nationality. For the Francophonie festival we have pulled from our stacks to create a special selection organized by country and are adding more all the time. Come discover a new author, a new country, a new perspective!
We also pulled together a new selection of translations of some of our favorite Francophone authors translated into English -- available to browse and shop on our Bookshop page. We hope you take a chance to discover a new voice, a new country, and new perspective! Vive la Francophonie!
Local Student Showcase: Celebrating La Francophonie!
Come to Bonjour Books DC in Kensington this month to see creations by local students inspired by the French Language and La Francophonie displayed in our window and around the store!
