Francophonie Week Highlights French Language Through Literary Figures

During Francophonie Week, attention turns to authors who showcase the French language, spoken by over 390 million people globally and recently ranked as the fourth most used language. Sonia Patricelli hosts novelist Ernis, who expresses French through slam poetry and writing. Ernis, who grew up in Cameroon, won the 2022 Voix d'Afrique prize for her debut novel 'Comme une reine'. Also featured is writer Guillaume Musso, one of France's most widely read and translated authors, whose new book 'Le Crime du paradis' has already topped sales charts.
