The main theme of the 2022 edition will be "re-enchanting the world", the organizers announced on Tuesday, and will question in particular the power of literature in the face of current events.

The humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan, the relationship between humans and nature or the evolution of the Francophonie are all current issues that will be the subject of events.

Leïla Slimani and Nancy Huston will be present

In all, 150 guests from 35 countries will be gathered during this weekend, including the Franco-Moroccan Leïla Slimani, the Senegalese philosopher Souleymane Bachir Diagne, the Cuban journalist and writer Leonardo Padura, the Franco-Canadian Nancy Huston or again the Australian author Richard Flanagan.

On the program, more than 220 events including meetings, exhibitions, film screenings and a book fair will take place in various places in Saint-Malo.

In previous editions in Saint-Malo, the event had welcomed up to 60,000 visitors according to the organizers.
