Antoine Laurain
The French novelist, screenwriter, journalist and director Antoine Laurain joins Georgina Godwin at Monocle’s London studios to discuss his tenth novel, ‘An Astronomer in Love’. He takes inspiration from the true story of Louis XV’s astronomer and combines it with a beautiful, modern Parisian love story. Laurain also talks about how his work in the antiques business inspired his first book, ‘The Portrait’, as well as the distinctive character of the French publishing industry and what it’s like to meet bookish British royalty.
