Emmanuel Carrère & Tibor Fischer on Identity
29 September, 7.30pm at the Institut français
Author of 'A Russian Novel' Emmanuel Carrère joins Tibor Fischer for a talk on Identity. A Russian Novel traces Carrère’s pursuit of three obsessions: a good story, the disappearance of his Russian grandfather and his fascination with a woman he loves but cannot keep from destroying. Chapter by chapter, Carrère builds fictions from his own life, inflicting his plots on lovers and family along the way.
The son of Hungarian refugees, Tibor Fischer is the author of several books, including Under the Frog, which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize.

The talk will be followed by the screening of Emmanuel Carrère's documentary on Russia, Retour à Kotelnitch (105 mins | in French | free entrance | in the Library)
