An Evening with André Schiffrin

Join VINGT PARIS for an evening with André Schiffrin, the son of one of France's most esteemed publishers. He will talk about his memoir, A Political Education - an absorbing account of the tumultuous political times that shaped him.

The memoir recounts the surprising twists and turns of a life that saw Schiffrin become, himself, the publisher of some of the world's leading writers.

This remarkable work is more than a flesh-and-blood tale of growing up.

It is the stunning and revelatory road map of a seeker: "an autobiography of ideas,” 
says Studs Terkel, American author, and historian.

A question and answer session and a book signing will follow the reading.

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009 at 7pm.
RSVP on our meetup group.
