Author Michaël Ferrier will share his writing practices and his insights into Francophone literature, and read extracts from his prize-winning novel Mémoires d'outre-mer (Over Seas of Memory, translated by Martin Munro) [an English translation will be provided]. This work is based loosely on the author’s life and recounts the narrator’s journey following in the footsteps of his Mauritius-born grandfather, Maxime, who abruptly boarded a boat bound for Madagascar in 1922 and never returned.
