The Plateau with Maggie Paxson

Join Maggie Paxson for a musical evening on the occasion of the publication of The Plateau (Riverhead). Paxson will be telling stories from The Plateau and performing songs from The Bomb Shelter Cafe in English, French and Yiddish from the World War II era.

The Plateau tells the story of a small plateau in the in the south-central Vivarais-Lignon region of France –– a beautiful, wind-blown place that offered safe harbor to countless strangers –– mostly children –– as they fled for their lives during World War II, and today, offers refuge to migrants. Riveting, multilayered, and intensely personal, The Plateau is a deeply inspiring journey into the central conundrum of our time.

Daniel Mendelsohn will be introducing the evening.

In English. Free and open to the public. No RSVP necessary.
