A monthly gathering for readers who enjoy discovering, discussing and sharing the novels shaping the literary season. With Pascale Frey, explore new voices, major releases and standout books from the contemporary literary scene.
PASCALE FREY is a literary journalist. She has been reading ever since she learned to read! She began her career at the Tribune de Genève, where she was in charge of the book section. Later she contributed for many years to Lire magazine and later to ELLE. It was while selecting books for ELLE magazine’s Readers’ Choice Award (novels, nonfiction, and mysteries) that she read a large number of contemporary literature. Today, she continues to share her many favorite picks on Instagram (@pascale_frey).
This book club is exclusively dedicated to the recent fiction. The latest releases, authors worth discovering, be they French or foreign, novels in the running for literary awards, or significant republications are the sources from which she will draw each month. The workshop aims to be a friendly gathering, and each participant is invited to share their thoughts on the selected book, which must be read before the next meeting. Ten annual meetings to catch up on the latest trends in literature. The book chosen for the September session is Ghost Stories by Siri Hustvedt (Gallimard, 2026), with Everything I Loved (Babel, 2013) by the same author as an optional read.
