Lecture by Novelist Édouard Louis

Lecture by Novelist Édouard Louis

Come to Moore Hall B03 to hear Édouard Louis discuss his 2014 title, "The End of Eddy," newly translated into English. Born in 1992 as Eddy Bellegueule in a village in northern France, at just twenty-two years of age his first novel, "En finir avec Eddy Bellegueule" (Éditions du Seuil, 2014), was published. A bestseller overnight and immediately translated into more than 20 languages, "The End of Eddy" tells the story of being gay and growing up in a poor working class community.

Dartmouth Author Talk: Alexander Chee

Please join us as Prof. Alexander Chee (English) discusses his novel, The Queen of the Night (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2016). Treasure Room, Baker Library Lilliet Berne is a sensation of the Paris Opera, a legendary soprano with every accolade except an original role, every singer's chance at immortality. When one is finally offered to her, she realizes with alarm that the libretto is based on a hidden piece of her past. Only four could have betrayed her: one is dead, one loves her, one wants to own her. And one, she hopes, never thinks of her at all. As she mines her memories for clues, she recalls her life as an orphan who left the American frontier for Europe and was swept up into the glitzy, gritty world of Second Empire Paris. In order to survive, she transformed herself from hippodrome rider to courtesan, from empress's maid to debut singer, all the while weaving a complicated web of romance, obligation, and political intrigue. Refreshments will be served.
