“Le livre sur les quais” is a public literary event that provides a unique opportunity for readers and authors to come together in a relaxed yet thought-provoking  atmosphere. Over 200 authors will be in attendance!

The third edition, presided by the very international Nancy Huston, will take place from 7^th to 9^th of September 2012. After the phenomenal success of the 2011 edition that attracted more than 35,000 visitors, this year’s event plays host to more than 200 Swiss, French and Wallon authors, as well as English-language writers.

Devoted exclusively to writers, books and literature, this event is unique in Switzerland. The ingredients of the 20112 edition will echo those of two last years success : a large marquee will be erected at the lakeside where authors will be available for signing their works; more than 80 lectures and debates will be organized in downtown Morges; various activities will be organized for schools and families. One more time, boats provided by the CGN will host on-board conferences and discussions on the lake.

Entry is free of charge.

English literature will be featured for the second time with about ten English speaking authors being present. The international flavour of the event will be highlighted with discussions and conferences taking place in English.

The Program of 2012 is in progress.
