NYC Appearance: September 26 at the Villa Albertine

And what is the Villa Albertine, you may ask? It is the French Institute for Culture and Education, and is a division of the French Embassy in the United States. I will be taking part of the Villa Albertine’s two-day international literary festival bringing together authors, translators, critics, and publishers from France and the United States. Why me? Why not! Specifically, I will be on a panel on September 26 about “Utopias, Dystopias, and the Politics of Imagination” along with Neil Clarke, Mathias Echenay and Joy Sanchez-Taylor. Information about the panel (as well as the rest of the festival) can be seen here. Want to attend my or other events at this festival? Well, you can! The events are free and open to the public, although an RSVP is necessary due to limited space available. So come see us be very terribly smart and clever about speculative fiction on what I genuinely hope is a lovely weekend in New York City. See you then! — JS
