  • Description:

    This course is the opportunity to discuss French novels or plays to give you an insight into the French culture. I would like to start with Delphine de Vigan and 'No et Moi', Faïza Guène and 'Kiffe Kiffe Demain'. Then perhaps Marc levy avec 'Le voleur d'ombres'. I will have a few novels on offer and we can discuss what you would prefer. Film wise I would like to start with 'Les Intouchables' and 'Lupin' with Omar Sy as one of the main actors. And of course grammar will come to the rescue when needed. We will definitely start with 'No et Moi' by Delphine de Vigan. An adaptation has been made from the novel and we can also discuss its success, comparing the film with the novel. I will aim to speak French at all times but will revert to English when necessary.Students should get ‘No et Moi’ by Delphine De Vigan, le livre de poche; ISBN: 978-2-253-12480-1.

    You can easily order it from Amazon. Amazon also offers a translation, ‘No and Me’; ISBN: 978-0-7475-9964-7.
