Held alongside the awarding of the Literary Prize and the Discovery Scholarship, the Reading Marathon’s main objective is to involve the public of Monaco and the region in the Foundation’s activities in the literary field.

As part of this event, the Prince Pierre Foundation is inviting readers to gather at a Literary Tea on Wednesday, September 19, at 17:00 at the Library Louis Notari in Monaco.

Another highlight will be a meeting with the authors selected for the Discovery Grant, to take place on Wednesday, October 3, at 15:00, also at the Louis Notari Library.

The authors in the running for the Literary Prize, honouring a renowned French writer for all of his or her work, are: René De Ceccatty, Annie Ernaux, Linda Le, Tobie Nathan, and Maurizio Serra.
