The Fall 2024 Bowman Lecture will be given by the award-winning Martinican author, playwright, scenarist, and philosopher Patrick Chamoiseau. Chamoiseau received the Prix Goncourt, France’s most prestigious literary prize, in 1992 for his expansive novel Texaco. Since then, he has been an active theoretician of Francophone literatures, as well as an advocate for human rights. His most recent essays include Manifestes, written with Edouard Glissant, Baudelaire Jazz, and Faire Pays. As always, the Bowman Lecture will be given in French. All are welcome.
