An Evening with French Intellectual Guy Sorman
Thursday, September 24, 2009 at 7pm

Join us and the French Institute - Alliance Francaise in New York for a lively discussion of Guy Sorman's new book,
Economics Does Not Lie: A Defense of the Free Market in a Time of Crisis, with Peter Coy, Economics editor and senior writer for BusinessWeek.

Enjoy an evening with photographer Matthew Pillsbury.

Over the course of 15 images, Pillsbury showcases a variety of Parisian sites, many of them iconic, some of them commonplace. His subjects range from a service at La Sainte Chapelle, to the haunting Père Lachaise cemetery, to the grand Bon Marché department store. His style succeeds in trumping our assumptions about the famed city and delivers surprising results. 

Thursday April 16, 2009, from 6:30 to 8:00 P.M. at
The French Institute Alliance Française,
22 East 60th Street New York, 10022

Contribution: $10 per person
