Ever dreamed of a book club all about graphic novels? Your dreams are coming true! Read our quarterly French-language selection on your own, then come together with a group of other book lovers for a guided discussion with Dr. Annabelle Dolidon of PSU's French Department. This is a great way to read some new titles and practice your French with a group of other "BD" (bande dessinée) enthusiasts.
You can purchase the titles wherever you like. If you purchase them through our partner Lireka, you can get 10% off your first order as an Alliance Française member (just remember to use our purchase links—coming soon!)
Look below to explore the titles we'll read for our first three meetups (final dates TBD).
PLEASE NOTE
Each meetup is a separate free event, and registration is required for each one. The registration link for the November 6 meetup is at the bottom of this page; links for the other meetups will be added soon.
