***Frapper l'épopée - A. Zeniter :*** "Alice Zeniter nous propose de suivre Tass, une professeure originaire de Nouvelle-Calédonie, de retour dans son archipel natal après une rupture amoureuse. Intriguée par la disparition de deux jumeaux kanaks parmi ses élèves, Tass se lance à leur recherche tout en étant confrontée aux réalités du mouvement indépendantiste et du passé colonial de la Nouvelle-Calédonie. Les critiques louent la manière dont Alice Zeniter se sert des codes du roman colonial pour mieux déconstruire les mythes et les stéréotypes associés à la Nouvelle-Calédonie. Ils soulignent également la force de son récit et la richesse avec laquelle elle se propose de nous faire explorer l'histoire et de la culture de l'île" *(Le Masque et La Plume).* ***Le Procès-verbal - J. M. G. Le Clézio :*** *"Le Procès-verbal* de Le Clézio traduit, une expérience d’ordre intime voir d’ordre métaphysique. Quand l’esprit refuse d’accorder au monde la moindre cohérence, à la société le moindre intérêt, que perçoit-on, sinon une rumeur confuse, une succession indifférente d’images, un univers dissocié ? Certains s’en tiennent là, chantres d’un désespoir inéluctable, comme Samuel Beckett. D’autres vont demander à un « au-delà » ou à un « en deçà » des apparences l’enracinement dans l’Etre, le courant profond de l’existence. C’est à ces mystiques de « l’en deçà », qui refusent autant la vie et ses lois que les désespérés, qu’appartient l’auteur du *Procès-verbal "(Le Monde).* **Présentations d'auteurs** Adrien présentera Alice Zeniter et Grace présentera Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio, merci à eux! **Inscription** Ne vous inscrivez, s’il vous plaît, que si vous êtes sûr.e de pouvoir lire au moins une des deux œuvres et d'être présent.e le jour J. Au plaisir de se rencontrer, débattre et discuter, autour d'un verre !

Kicking things off with \*\*\*Arrangements in Blue \*\*\*by Amy Key. The book explores themes of love, independence, and identity outside of traditional relationships. The goal isn’t to analyze every detail, but to use the book as a starting point to share thoughts, perspectives, and experiences in a relaxed setting. You don’t need to finish the entire book to join; coming with a few reflections or questions is more than enough. The group is intentionally small to keep conversations engaging and meaningful.

There are many books that have won over their movies, some *catastrophically*! For this time around, please bring along your favorite book(s) that you feel triumph over their screen adaptations, along with your reflections, thoughts… and complaints! 🎬📖 (Physical copies are always welcome for our little group photo tradition!) Let’s gather to lovingly (or not so lovingly) pick apart what Hollywood got wrong, the missing scenes, the miscast characters, or that *one* change you’ll never forgive! This is a themed book club, so no required reading! Just come ready to share your strongest opinions and unexpected takes to discuss any book you'd like (preferably a classic.) :) P.S. I’ll reach out before the event to confirm attendance. Please cancel in advance if plans change so I can adjust the reservation accordingly. Merci\~ 🌹

Chers tous ! Pour la séance du cycle "Vos lectures, vos coups de coeur" du mois d'Avril 2026, le thème retenu collégialement est : **Le Maghreb** Le principe veut que chacun lise et/ou parle d'une oeuvre liée au thème et vienne la présenter au groupe et aux participants. Tous les genres (essais, théâtre, roman, biographies...), toutes les disciplines (art, film, littérature...) ; tout ce qui vous inspire peut être matière à discussion et prétexte à échanges... Et n'oubliez pas ! Partagez, si vous le souhaitez, quelques mots, passages et/ou citations qui vous ont marqués, touchés et qui vous semblent importants à partager avec le groupe et les participants. *Vous pouvez participer (facultatif) à hauteur de 2 euros par personne et par an, participation qui équilibre les frais de cotisations dues à Meetup.* Enfin, inscrivez-vous, je vous prie, uniquement si vous êtes sûrs de la partie. ***Aussi, votre attention je vous prie : Je me vois contrainte d'annuler l'inscription de tous ceux qui ne nous honorent pas de leur présence et ce malgré un intérêt vif et persistant.*** ***Ils ne prennent pas la peine (malheureusement) de nous prévenir de leur défection tout aussi persistante.*** ***Ceci afin de protéger le groupe, l'activité et notre relation avec la brasserie.*** *Bien à vous tous, bonnes lectures aussi et à bientôt !* Jélila PS : A l'attention des nouveaux membres/nouveaux inscrits : Répondez, je vous prie, à ma demande de confirmation de participation par messagerie directe.

Nous poursuivons le cycle consacré à Emile Zola et à sa série littéraire "Les Rougon-Macquart" avec le 10e volume : **"Pot-Bouille"** "Zola est entré partout, chez les ouvriers et chez les bourgeois. Chez les premiers, selon lui, tout est visible. La misère comme le plaisir saute aux yeux. Chez les seconds tout est caché. Ils clament : « Nous sommes l'honneur, la morale, la famille. » Faux, répond Zola, vous êtes le mensonge de tout cela. Votre pot-bouille est la marmite où mijotent toutes les pourritures de la famille. Octave Mouret, le futur patron qui révolutionnera le commerce en créant Au Bonheur des Dames, arrive de province et loue une chambre dans un immeuble de la rue de Choiseul. Beau et enjoué, il séduit une femme par étage, découvrant ainsi les secrets de chaque famille. Ce dixième volume des Rougon-Macquart, retraçant la vie sous le Second Empire, c'est ici la bourgeoisie côté rue et côté cour, avec ses soucis de filles à marier, de rang à tenir ou à gagner, coûte que coûte. Les caricatures de Zola sont cruelles mais elles sont vraies." Babelio Pour la présentation d'auteur et le focus sur l'oeuvre : \- Solène fera une présentation selon son choix ; choix qu'elle nous communiquera dès que possible\. * Je fais le focus sur l'oeuvre. Et n'oubliez pas ! Partagez, si sous le souhaitez, quelques mots, passages et/ou citations qui vous ont marqués, touchés, et qui vous semblent importants à partager avec le groupe et les participants. Enfin, inscrivez-vous, je vous prie, uniquement si vous êtes sûrs d'être de la partie. Bien à vous tous, bonnes lectures, et à bientôt ! Jélila PS : la cotisation est de 2 euros par personne et par an, mais elle reste facultative et n'est jamais nominative (les frais dus à la plateforme sont de 240 euros par an).

Hello all, The club is back (again) with its signatory Spring ping pong session, still open to anyone who'd love to come meet new friends (and has their own paddle)! Our meeting point are the tables closest to the BIG fountain at the Jardin des Grands Explorateurs (it's easy to be confused with the adjacent park). Please unsubscribe if you cannot attend. And please bring water for hydration during the game (or chat)! See you there!

🍩🍰 Let's have a weekly deep talk in an intimate Parisian café, share a drink and have a good time with like-minded, lovely and chill people. 🥂☕ We're here to sip life in a childish, simple and non-serious way. 🙃 When was the last time you had a meaningful conversation? Or deepened your relationship with someone in your life? It's not easy to have a deep conversation. While small talk, which is typically casual and light-hearted, can help break the ice, it may not necessarily help you form a deep, emotional connection with someone. Whether it's with your friends, family, colleagues or romantic partners, having meaningful conversations is important for creating strong bonds. "Meaningful conversations help us understand ourselves and those around us better. They involve sharing important aspects of ourselves and actively listening, validating and connecting with others." We believe that a happy and healthy life is built on beautiful relationships and that loneliness kills us. That's it. It's not the number of friends that counts, it's the quality of the relationship. ✅ This group is adressed to : ● People who want to build deep, genuine and caring relationships in a small group that looks the same, where they feel comfortable and emotionally safe to talk emotionally and get intimate about anything in their lives. ● Simple, loving, kind, hyper/sensitive and lovely people who spend a lot of time in their bubble thinking about the meaning of life, passionate about personal development, philosophy, meaningful conversations, debates .... ⛔ Please don't subscribe if : ● You don't see yourself in the group's aims and beliefs. ● You're travelling for a short period of time and don't live or intend to live in Paris. ● You are not sure if you will be able to come, please update your status to allow others on the waiting list to join. An absence without notice will result in an irrevocable ban. Progress : ● ❗ For reservations, I'll send you a private Meetup message at least 5 hours before the meeting to confirm your reservation. If I don't receive a reply 2 hours before the meeting, I will send you a second message to let you know that you will be replaced by someone on the waitlist. ● 💚 We keep the session small, cosy and relaxed in a quiet place, prioritising regularity to encourage intimacy, connection, listening and speaking. (\~ 5/6 people) ● 🔖 On arrival, if you feel comfortable, you will be suggested to choose and associate several drawn Feelings and Needs cards to express how you really feel at the moment, to talk about ourselves and communicate effectively. ● 📝 The best way to make progress is to make the conversation easy and natural, with everyone making an effort to suggest and write down what you want to talk about. You can write down your favourite topics/questions before the meeting. The meeting is participative and invite everyone if you feel comfortable being a leader and a power of suggestion. Anyway, to keep the meeting running smoothly, I'll animate the meeting to make sure the conversation doesn't get wild or boring and I wouldn't hesitate to reframe people. In case of lack of inspiration we have a lot of deep conversation question card game which can help to find interesting questions. ● 🍕 (Not compulsory) After the meeting we can finish in a nearby restaurant for those who wish to relax or continue our conversation. Advice for a good moment : ● Leave your ego and mask at home, we are not here to impress anyone but to be ourselves with our strength, weakness, pride and shame. Come with an open/deep/emotional/complex thought and vulnerability. ● Ask open-ended questions and invite the other person to describe what a situation was like for them or how they felt. ● Don't hesitate to be vulnerable and share information about yourself if needed. Consider sharing personal information first to gain the other person's trust. ● Adopt an attitude of curiosity and genuine interest in what the other person is saying. Be thoughtful and try to put yourself in the other person's shoes so that you can see things from their perspective. Be truthful, caring and honest. ● Listen actively and ask follow-up questions. ● Be empathetic and offer emotional validation so that they feel seen and heard. It is forbidden to judge, but try to understand. ● ⏱ Be aware of your speaking time for Equally Speak. ● 🤫 Be aware never to provoke political or religious ideologies, but to accept differences of belief. Advice on non-violent communication can be given in the meeting to learn not to unintentionally hurt anyone when requested or needed. ● 🚨 Remember to maintain a safe, and benevolent environment. People who are considered to be disruptive, problematic or simply not in tune with the energy of the group will not be allowed to return. Finally, we're hug-friendly !!! 🤗

Welcome, readers! Our April read is **_Martyr!_ by Kaveh Akbar.** The story follows a young Iranian American poet grappling with grief, addiction, and the aching question of what makes a life meaningful. Drawn into an unexpected friendship with a terminally ill artist, he begins to confront faith, love, and the seduction of self-destruction. Lyrical, darkly funny, and emotionally piercing, the novel wrestles with beauty and despair in equal measure. It’s a story about longing—to be seen, to be forgiven, and to matter. Looking forward to discussing with everyone! We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **drinks must be purchased at the bar.** Happy reading! 📖
