Football is about more than stadiums and international players – it’s a journey and a pastime, a link to childhood and to the art of writing, a world of headbutts, melancholy and passion.
As we near the start of the Euro 2016 championships, on 2nd June, come and here Belgian prose writer, photographer and filmmaker, Jean-Philippe Toussaint talking about his new book ‘Football’, published in the UK this month by Fitzcarraldo Editions.
The event will take place at the Institut Français in London. Touissant will be in conversation with Shaun Whiteside (translator), Juliet Jacques (writer and blogger) and Philippe Auclair (journalist, TalkSPORT & France Football).
