Conversation with Leila Slimani

Event 34 | Wednesday, 20 September 2016 | 7:30 p.m.

The journalist and writer of Moroccan origin Leïla Slimani has lived in France since her university days. After several years as a journalist, she decided to dedicate herself full-time to literature. Her first novel, Dans le jardin de l’ogre (2014) deals with the issue of female sexual addiction and was unanimously acclaimed by critics. Her second novel, Chanson douce, consolidated Slimani’s literary career, earning her the 2016 Goncourt Prize. On this occasion she converses with Isabel Navarro, a poet and editor-in-chief of “Mujer Hoy”, about her work, literary inspiration and influences. The event is presented by Nicolas Kassianides, director of the Institut Français in Spain.
