Albertine Book
A book for Albertine, a library located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
The library, known as "a project of the cultural services of the French Embassy," serves as a symbolic connection between France and the United States. In the book, the focus is placed on the profound philosophical ties between the two nations and their mutual influence.
The library's collection of books written in both French and English allows for a simultaneous exploration of both languages.
The Reader is prompted to close the book and turn it 180 degrees to begin reading the French section.
