From Wednesday, December 5 to Friday, December 7, Philippe Vilain will be speaking at schools, hospitals, and penitentiary institutions in the City of Nice about his novel “Pas son genre,” which was adapted into a film by Lucas Belvaux. In this novel, the author explores the issue of cultural and social differences in love through two characters with opposing tastes. This stimulating topic always generates discussions about access to culture and the relationship with literature.
Philippe Vilain is a French man of letters, writer, essayist, and holds a doctorate in modern literature from the Sorbonne Nouvelle University – Paris 3. His literary work explores the consciousness of love: jealousy (L’Étreinte), the guilt of not loving enough (Le Renoncement), commitment (L’Été à Dresde), adultery (Paris l’après-midi, La Femme infidèle), fatherhood (Faux-père), shyness (Confession d’un timide), cultural and social difference (Pas son genre).
