TV5Monde to launch Francophone literature series with Augustin Trapenard

TV5Monde is launching a new daily series titled ‘Un pays, un livre’ (One country, one book) this November. The 30-episode program, produced by Rosebud, will be hosted by journalist and critic Augustin Trapenard.

Each three-minute episode will focus on a specific Francophone writer and their work to explore different cultures and historical moments. The series features a diverse range of authors from various Francophone nations, including Nancy Huston from Canada, Rithy Panh from Cambodia, Léopold Sédar Senghor from Senegal, and Alain Mabanckou from the Republic of the Congo. The launch coincides with the 20th Francophonie Summit.
