OUR LETTERS FROM ASIA
Color version

From Saint-John Perse to François Cheng

Asia has long been present in French-language literature, from Saint-John Perse's "Lettres d'Asie" to Amélie Nothomb's contemporary Japan. But it's sometimes overlooked that many Asian authors write in French and that a number of major figures in French literature hail from Asia… Consider Aki Shimazaki, Eun-Jan Kang, Akira Mizubayashi, Ook Chung, Ryöko Sekiguchi, Ying Chen, Shan Sa, Dai Sijie, Wèi Wéi, Ya Ding, and of course, the renowned François Cheng, a member of the French Academy. To mark the first Francophone Authors' Festival in Kuala Lumpur on March 24, 2024, RENCONTRE DES AUTEURS FRANCOPHONES (Meeting of Francophone Authors) invited its members to explore this fusion of French-language literature and Asia, paying tribute to the Asian continent and those who write about it in French. This journey through Asia brings together twenty-five texts written by passionate authors, eager to let words flow in homage to their city. Short stories, poems, reflections, texts, illustrations… We invite you to discover what Asia inspires in them and to immerse yourself in the travel journals of Pom Ehrentrant, our Ambassador in Malaysia.

The book contains numerous illustrations and color photos

    OUR LETTERS FROM ASIA

    Color version From Saint-John Perse to François Cheng

    Asia has long been present in French-language literature, from Saint-John Perse's "Letters of Asia" to Amélie Nothomb's contemporary Japan. But we sometimes overlook the fact that many Asian authors write in French, and that many of the great names in French-language literature hail from Asia. Just think of Aki Shimazaki, Eun-Jan Kang, Akira Mizubayashi, Ook Chung, Ryöko Sekiguchi, Ying Chen, Shan Sa, Dai Sijie, Wèi Wéi, Ya Ding and, of course, the famous François Cheng, Member of the Académie française. On the occasion of the first festival of French-speaking authors in Kuala Lumpur on March 24, 2024, RENCONTRE DES AUTEURS FRANCOPHONES has therefore invited its members to explore this marriage between French-language literature and Asia, paying tribute to the Asian continent and to those who write about it in French.This journey through Asia brings together twenty-five texts written by passionate authors, enthusiastic about letting their words run free to pay homage to them. Short stories, poems, reflections, texts, illustrations... We invite you to discover what Asia inspires them, and to immerse yourself in the travel diaries of Pom Ehrentrant, our Ambassador in Malaysia. The book features numerous illustrations and color photos. Editorial direction: Anna Alexis Michel. Art direction: Sandra Encaoua Berrih. countries and territories around the world.
