Mark your calendar for an entertaining presentation by author Scott Carpenter, followed by a conversation with Jeff Koterba. You may remember Scott from an AFO event in 2021. Following his hilarious introduction to Paris in French Like Moi, Midwesterner Scott Dominic Carpenter returns to the scene of the crime with more tales of intrigue.

About the author: Scott Dominic Carpenter teaches French literature and creative writing at Carleton College (MN). Winner of a Mark Twain House Royal Nonesuch Award (2018), he is the author of French Like Moi: A Midwesterner in Paris (winner of a Next Generation Indie Book Award), This Jealous Earth: Stories, and Theory of Remainders: A Novel (a Kirkus Best Book of 2013), which is currently under option with a major film production company. Carpenter splits his time between St. Paul and Paris.

Earlier this month Scott was interviewed by Oliver Gee on his podcast The Earful Tower during an episode titled “Paris if you want to see it like a local.” As our members may recall, Oliver Gee has also participated in previous events with Alliance Française Omaha, including a live tour on the streets of Paris with members Jeff Koterba and Bernie Duhaime.
