Meeting and Book signing with Catherine Lovey
Thursday, 17.11.2016
Thursday, 17.11.2016
Literature
Catherine Lovey studied economy and criminology. Her books observe with a lot of humor, but bluntly the spectrum of our society. After Un roman russe et drôle, greeted by the critics and translated into Russian, Monsieur et Madame Rivaz brings to life a heroine with a spirit of Don Quichotte. A great contemporary roman; carrying a strong, but refreshingly rage. Cathrine Lovey already came to Hong Kong in 2007 to present her first roman, L’homme interdit, for which she received the Foundation Schiller Price.
Location: Librairie Parenthèses, 2/F, Duke of Wellington House, 14-24 Wellington Street, Central, Hong Kong
