An Evening with Deborah Levy

A conversation between Deborah Levy and Alice McCrum at the American Library in Paris. Filmed on 04/10/2022 with a live audience both in person and on Zoom. Following the conclusion of her renowned living autobiography trilogy, Deborah Levy discusses a life translated into words, and what remains unsaid. Acclaimed novelist, playwright, and poet Deborah Levy spoke at the Library on her distinctive style and extensive career. Celebrated for her turbulent, dream-infused prose and philosophical agility, Levy is a master of language and a cataloguer of its failures, exploring the limits of what can be articulated. Her ‘living autobiographies’, a trilogy fusing memoir with theoretical musings, serve as dispatches from liminal spaces. Levy slips through time and sifts through memory. She conjures the life of a woman and artist seeking to understand womanhood and the practice of art. At the American Library in Paris, she detailed her experience writing in the “storm of life.” About the speaker: Deborah Levy is the author of acclaimed novels, short stories and plays.
