Book Discussion: Luc Sante

November 23, 2015
7:00pm
Student Lounge, Tuohy Hall BK

Join the Department of Journalism and New Media Studies at SJC Brooklyn to welcome Luc Sante, author of The Other Paris, on Monday, November 23 at 7 p.m. 

Paris, the City of Light, the city of fine dining and seductive couture and intellectual hauteur, was, until recently, always accompanied by its shadow: the city of the poor, the outcast, the criminal, the eccentric, the willfully nonconforming. In The Other Paris, Luc Sante gives us a panoramic view of that second metropolis, which has nearly vanished but whose traces are in the bricks and stones of the contemporary city, in the culture of France itself, and, by extension, throughout the world. 

Sante is an author, and book and film critic. He is the recipient of numerous awards, including Whiting Writer’s Award, Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, Cultural Award from the Belgian-American Chamber of Commerce, American Scholar Award for Best Literary Criticism, Infinity Award from the International Center of Photography and Guggenheim, and Cullman Fellowships.

This event is free and open to the public.  Copies of the book will be available for purchase and guests will have a chance to have it personally signed by the author.
