As part of the second year of "Nights of Reading" organized by the National Book Center (CNL), from January 19 to 22, the Minister of Culture, Rima Abdul Malak, wished to pay tribute on Friday January 20 to Christian Bobin, the writer-poet who left us in November 2022. To do so, the Ministry of Culture (Rue de Valois) will open its doors to the general public for an evening entitled "Night of the Heart" which will take place from 8 p.m. 2:00.
Throughout this evening, texts by the writer from Le Creusot, author of some sixty books since
Lettre pourpre
in 1977, will resonate within the walls of the ministry, interspersed with musical beats.

“With this
Nuit du cœur
, I wanted to pay tribute to Christian Bobin, this writer whom I love so much and who is for his readers like a benevolent friend whose words help to live,
specified the Minister of Culture
.
On the occasion of the
Nights of Reading
, opening the doors of the ministry to everyone to share his texts and his memory seems to me to be a nice farewell to this generous and discreet man whose pen was able to bring together the most diverse readers.
