Award-winning novelist Leïla Slimani, "Literature: A Space for Absolute Freedom"
Join us for a lecture and Q&A with bestselling French-Moroccan novelist Leïla Slimani. Slimani is the author of The Perfect Nanny (originally published in French as Chanson douce), which won the 2016 Prix Goncourt, France's most prestigious literary prize. The Perfect Nanny has been?? described as "a compulsive, riveting, bravely observed exploration of power, class, race, domesticity, and motherhood." A journalist and frequent commentator on women's and human's rights, Slimani is French president Emmanuel Macron's personal representative for the promotion of the French language and culture. All event attendees will be entered into a free raffle for one of five signed copies of The Perfect Nanny. This event is co-sponsored by the Cultural Services of the French Embassy in the United States, the Pepperdine Division of International Studies and Languages, and the Pepperdine University Libraries.
