Anne Pauly: Before I Forget
Anne Pauly discusses her debut novel Before I Forget, which recounts the aftermath of her father's death and the task of mourning a man who was “at once a self-taught philosopher and romantic, and an alcoholic whose violence marked his family.” The book won the Prix du Livre Inter and was shortlisted for the Prix Goncourt. Bruno Perreau, Cynthia L. Reed Professor of French Studies at MIT, moderates.
