Auteur anglais: nom à confirmer /// This young British woman was the fourth reader of the evening. I, alas, have not got a note of her name but will add it when I do hear back from the other readers of the evening. She got up and shared recent poetry that was read out live from her journal--daring!!!
La cinqième lecture venait d'un écrivain de New York en visite à Paris--Bonny Finberg. Elle nous a lu un extrait de son roman. /// The fifth open mike reader of the evening was visiting from New York City--Bonny Finberg, who shared an extract of fiction with us.
