Come and discuss the European book of the month! We're looking forward to seeing you!

Our European Book club meets regularly to discuss a contemporary novel from one of our literatures (Austrian, Catalan, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, or Spanish, with the occasional guest literatures). The novels chosen are available as French (or English) translations, and the discussion takes place in French.

For up-to-date information on chosen works, please check this website regularly, or on our Facebook page!

We inform you in advance of the books to be read for the next book clubs. They are available at our partner bookstores (the Librairie Gallimard de Montréal and the Librairie du Square).

All the information regarding the location, moderation of the evening, etc., is communicated a few weeks before each book club meeting.
