“Celebrating the art of telling about other worlds, deciphering ours and imagining possible futures”: these are the objectives of Dimension, the book fair which is being held this Saturday, April 27 in Palaiseau. The city has decided to launch the first edition of a cultural event focused on science and science fiction, in partnership with La Fringale culturelle, la Fontaine aux livres and Cinépal. More than twenty authors will be present to interact with the public, sign their writings, not forgetting six round tables held throughout the day.
“Historically anchored in a literary land, where illustrious figures such as George Sand, Alexandre Dumas and Charles Péguy drew their inspiration, Palaiseau is reinventing itself today as a bastion of innovation and scientific research, thus shaping the future of literature, say the organizers. The Dimension show offers a bridge between these two identities, bringing together authors of novels, comics, essays and scientists. »
