Join us in Montmartre this December for a five-day workshop with Janine di Giovanni.

An award-winning author, essayist and journalist, Janine is the author of nine books, a Senior Fellow at Yale, a contributing writer at Vanity Fair, and Executive Director of The Reckoning Project. Over a career spanning more than 35 years, she has reported from 18 wars and documented three genocides, with a focus on human rights and deeply personal reporting.

Her work has earned a Guggenheim Fellowship, the American Academy of Arts and Letters’ Blake-Dodd Prize for lifetime achievement in non-fiction, and has appeared in The New York Review of Books, Granta, Harper’s, The New York Times and The Washington Post.

A rare opportunity to explore literary long-form nonfiction with one of today’s most distinguished writers of reportage. Her first novel, Evidence, comes out in March 2027. by @albaarikha

Goodbye for now to the uber @the_kardamyli_festival filled with history, politics, climate change, AI, novels, philosophy, and all the things that matter in our fragmented world. Great talks from Tim Bouverie, James Fox, Dmytro Kuleba and Misha Glenny, Harriet Walter, Mehreen Khan, Henry Power and Ian McEwan amongst many others. Thank you to James and @charlotteheneage for making it happen #kardamyli #Messinia ##ideasandcivilisation #Peloponnese by @albaarikha

My favourite summer reads, #lectures estivales, @rupert_thomson @davidflusfeder @colombeschneck in English and en français, including @natasha_lehrer brilliant translation of Suite for Barbara Loden.
