Nancy's Livre sur la Place returns with a bigger focus on young readers
The 48th edition of the festival, running September 11 to 13, brings together more than 540 authors under co-presidents Élie Barnavi and Élias Sanbar, with new sponsors backing an expanded children's program.
The Livre sur la Place, one of France's long-running literary festivals, opens in Nancy on September 11 and runs through September 13, according to Livres Hebdo. This 48th edition will gather more than 540 authors and writers over the three days.
The festival is co-chaired this year by historian Élie Barnavi and writer and translator Élias Sanbar, Livres Hebdo reports. Organizers have given increased space to children's and young-adult literature in the program, and the event is drawing on new sponsors to support that expansion.
Livres Hebdo's report does not detail the full lineup of guests, prizes or specific events beyond these broad strokes, and no further particulars are available at this time.
