A reading by Louise Rose
23 May 2026 at 19:30
Free
As part of European Museum Night.
Louise Rose is the author of a debut novel, *Les Projectiles* (P.O.L), which recounts her heroine’s quest to find a mysterious box she buried in the garden of her childhood home. From the museum’s collection, Louise Rose has chosen a work that echoes this text; she will read an extract from it before leading a discussion that will highlight this resonance between the literary and visual works.
Louise Rose is the guest author in residence in Grenoble as part of the Printemps du livre. A graduate of ENSAD in Nancy and holder of a Master’s degree in Creative Writing from Le Havre, she is interested in art in all its forms, which nourishes her writing as much as her walks and encounters. She is staying in Grenoble for three months to write her second novel and meet with a variety of audiences.
