La Petite Bibliothèque by Yannick Haenel in podcast format

Every semester, the Maison des Arts et de la Création, in collaboration with the Sciences Po Library, welcomes the holder of the Chair of Creative Writing to the antechamber of the Saint-Thomas Library.

Surrounded by around thirty people, he or she presents his or her Petite bibliothèque, a collection of around ten particularly outstanding titles, to help the audience understand and share his or her life journey, perspective and writing process.

The podcast is available on Spotify, Podcast Addict, Deezer, Amazon Music and Apple.

In this first episode, recorded in spring 2024, Yannick Haenel, the eleventh holder of the Chair of Creative Writing, lends himself to the exercise.
