Francophone book fair kicks off in Beirut

Al Monitor

The most prominent francophone cultural event in Lebanon, the Francophone Book Fair, kicked off on Friday, Nov. 1 and will last until Nov. 10. The fair, which is celebrating its 20th year, will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. During these last 20 years, the exhibition has become a landmark that cannot be ignored: a steady expansion that includes lectures given by authors, discussions, signings, and exhibits (in photography and plastic art) accompany the book fair, not to mention another impressive series of activities that turn these 10 days into an integral cultural agenda.
