Is Macron as progressive as everyone outside of France thinks he is? What’s the deal with Gabriel Attal, France’s new(-ish) PM? And why do the French love to protest so much?
Hannah and I spoke about French politics, both past and present, her relationship to feminism over the years, as well as her cultural recommendations. It was nice to sit down with a fellow Brit who is building a life in Paris.

For the latest FBC Paris podcast episode, I happily handed the microphone over to my friend Charlotte Moreau, a French journalist and writer.
Here’s the context: I first heard about Claire last year through friend and book club member Betsy. I started following her on Instagram and reached out when she posted about the media silence following the release of her second book but first novel, Féminin. While I wanted to offer Claire a safe space in which to talk about her experience, I knew that a native French speaker would do a much better job. This is when Charlotte entered the chat. And dear readers, she nailed it.

Idol, Burning (Rin Usami) -
I’m delighted to introduce you to Juliette and Margot, the owners of Librairie Majo in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, which opened its doors on the 18th October 2022. Having first met as students at Sciences Po over a decade ago, Juliette and Margot have lived together in Paris, in Tokyo, then in Paris again, and today they live 3 minutes away from each other. The idea of opening a bookshop together started out as a pipe-dream, a joke. But dissatisfied with their jobs, and sharing a desire to do something more meaningful, the two friends made their book-shaped dream into a wonderful reality over the course of 18 months.
Librairie Majo: 27, rue des Boulangers 75005 Paris

The Guardian described I'm A Fan as a “fizzing debut that’s hard to put down”, and I can’t really argue with that. Sheena and I cover everything from complex female characters, The Sopranos, performative feminism and Instagram as a platform of oppression.

Today on the podcast, I’m talking to Daisy Johnson, author of Sisters, which was our October book club pick (and gave some of us nightmares!) Daisy was born in 1990 and her debut short-story collection, Fen, was published in 2016. In 2018 she became the youngest author ever to be shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize with her debut novel Everything Under.
We spoke about the trio of women featured in Sisters, about love, about bodies, about where the horror genre fits into intersectional feminism, as well as Daisy’s writing process and current reading habits. -
Fiona is the French owner of Damn Fine Bookstore, an international bookshop based in Lyon, France. A few years ago, she quit her non-bookish related job to fulfil her dream of opening an independent bookshop. But there were a few hurdles along the way, including a pretty big one that goes by the name of COVID-19.
On the cusp of Damn Fine’s one year anniversary, Fiona kindly took some time out of her busy schedule to chat to me about how she set up shop, why she loves Halloween, reading women authors, and her future plans for the shop. She did all of this in English, her second language!

If you’re a fan of Greek mythology and women's voices in particular, you will love These Great Athenians. The debut novel from non-binary writer Valentine Carter, gives voice to 16 of the oft-forgotten and misunderstood female characters of Homer’s epic The Odyssey.
Valentine and Lou talk about LGBTQ+ representation within the world of mythology and the limitations of heteronormative interpretations of its characters, as well as Valentine’s research for their book, their writing process, and why Scylla a.k.a. the “rockstar sea monster” is their favourite.
Buy a copy of These Great Athenians via the Nobrow website.

The Seep (Chana Porter) -
My first guest of Season 4 is Sylvia Whitman, owner of Shakespeare and Company Bookshop. In 2004, Sylvia took over the running of the bookshop from her father George Whitman, at 23 years old. She now runs it with her partner David, and together they have started a literary festival, a writing competition and opened a café next door to the bookshop.
James Baldwin called Shakespeare and Company the old curiosity shop while Anaïs Nin described it as a house of gentle warmth with walls of books and tea ceremonies. I certainly picked up on both of these qualities when I sat down with Sylvia in the bookshop a few months back.
We spoke about what Sylvia Beach and Adrienne Monnier did for France and publishing, the many writers who’ve been associated with the shop, Sylvia's father George Whitman, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Sylvia the Tumbleweed, navigating the bookshop through a global pandemic, and lockdown reading trends. And of course, lots of book recommendations!

The Reading Agency
From their website: The Reading Agency’s mission is to work towards a world where everyone is reading their way to a better life. We mean everyone - from toddlers to children to young adults, prisoners, and older people - irrespective of age or economic background. We believe that reading can tackle life's big challenges, from social mobility to mental health - and we're determined that no one is left behind as we strive towards realising our vision. In 2019-20, The Reading Agency reached over 1.8 million people across the UK, including more than 950,000 children and over 900,000 adults and young people.October’s Idlea Readers book was Burnt Sugar (Avni Doshi) - shortlisted for the Booker Prize
December’s Idle Readers books will be Supper Club (Lara Williams)
Forced Out (Kevin Maxwell)
From the publisher: Forced Out is a revelatory expose combining deeply affecting memoir with sharp analysis and a fascinating insider perspective on day-to-day life in the force. It is a touchstone for the silent many who have either tried to ignore abuse for the sake of their career or who have been bullied out of their jobs. It paints a sobering portrait of an institution that has not yet learned the lessons of the past and whose prejudice is informing the cases it chooses to investigate and the way it investigates them. And it asks the important question: what needs to change?Animals (Emma Jane Unsworth)
From the publisher: It is the moment every twenty-something must confront: the time to grow up. Adulthood looms, with all its numbing tranquility and stifling complacency. The end of prolonged adolescence is near. Laura and Tyler are two women whose twenties have been a blur of overstayed parties, a fondness for drugs that has shifted from cautious experimentation to catholic indulgence, and hangovers that don’t relent until Monday morning. They’ve been best friends, partners in excess, for the last ten years. But things are changing: Laura is engaged to Jim, a classical pianist who has long since given up the carousing lifestyle. He disapproves of Tyler’s reckless ways and of what he perceives to be her bad influence on Laura. Jim pulls her toward adulthood and responsibility, toward what society says she should be, but Tyler isn’t ready to let her go. But what does Laura want for herself?Some books that Lucy and Rachel have enjoyed this year:
Girl, Woman, Other (Bernardine Evaristo)
Unicorn: The Memoir of a Muslim Drag Queen (Amrou Al-Kadhi)
Notes To Self: Essays (Emilie Pine)
