FIAF, Bookforum, and the Villa Gillet are proud to present a new literary program, Write About Now. In this new series, contemporary French and American authors engage in dynamic discussions, each organized around a topic that constitutes a cultural common ground and jumping-off point for fascinating literary exchange. Moderated by noted Bookforum editors.

Based in New York, Bookforum has been providing incisive reviews of literature since 1994. The Villa Gillet, based in Lyon, brings together artists, writers, and researchers for debate on issues facing the world today.
