The 8th edition of "Nuit de la lecture" (Reading night), organized by the National Book Center in France will be held in Dallas on January 19, in partnership with Alliance Française de Dallas, Deep Vellum, the Wild Detectives, and Villa Albertine. This event is free and open to the public.

Join us for readings of poetry, fiction, and essays around the theme of the body, in English, French, and Spanish.

“Me, it’s my body that thinks. He's smarter than my brain. It feels more finely, more completely than my brain. When my body thinks... everything else goes silent. At those moments, all my skin has a soul." —Colette
