“Through this dynamic driven by a strong political will, an ambition is taking shape: to make writing a vehicle for memory, sharing, and contemporary creation”, the city hall stated.

Alongside the mayor were several personalities, including Guadeloupean writer Gisèle Pineau, who came to present her latest novel, “Le journal de la fille-panthère”, on April 30 at the city’s media library.
