Literary walks, workshops, dark evenings, etc., the International Festival of Black Novels / FIRN is all year round in Frontignan la Peyrade and its territory. While waiting for the 27th edition of the festival which will take place from May 24 to 26 at the Maurice-Clavel professional high school, go and meet the authors who are leading this new season. Rare and human moments to share without moderation. For the first 2024 meetings open to the public, organized as part of the Nuits de la lecture, Hervé Le Corre and Jérôme Leroy are offering a Black Evening with cross-readings accompanied by food and wine pairings, on January 19*, then, on Saturday January 20, meet around a musical reading with Michèle Pedinielli accompanied by Marcel Bataillard**.
The FIRN participates in Reading Nights
The FIRN continues to formulate original ideas in order to make the noir novel more accessible. And since 2020, he has made reading aloud a priority. By training readers who join the Book Action and Engaged Reading Brigade (BALLE) and then lead electric river rides during the festival, or interventions in schools, throughout the year. By also training 2nd year students from the Maurice-Clavel Professional High School so that they can work with schoolchildren, young children or isolated people. And by offering highlights which reiterate the importance of the author’s words and put it back at the center of the City.
* Dark evening – Friday January 19
The year 2024 therefore opens with a unique moment: a food and wine pairing tasting. Your 6th sense will be awakened since in complete darkness, the tasting will be accompanied by cross-readings aloud by two masters of the dark novel, Hervé Le Corre (Who will live following usShores 2024) and Jerome Leroy (Story of the girl who didn’t want to kill anyoneSyros 2023) …
After the success experienced in 2023, to the sound of the voices of Claire Favan and Céline Denjean, just illuminated by a soft light, reading passages from their book in turn, more than fifty people will once once more be able to participate this year to this experience and taste, in the darkness of a mystery place, the food and wine pairings, resulting from the collaboration of the restaurant In-Fine and the wine merchant Flaconneur.
