Staged reading: The Plot Against America, Bois-d'Arcy

La Fabrik

On Sunday 22 November 2026 at 17:00 La Fabrik in Bois-d'Arcy, a town in the Yvelines west of Paris, hosts a staged reading of Le Complot contre l'Amérique, within the American Fortnight organised by the Médiathèque de la Tremblaye. The listing presents it as a masterpiece of American literature: when the famous aviator Charles Lindbergh beats President Roosevelt in the 1940 election, fear takes hold of American Jews. The coup of the writer Philip Roth is to tell the story from the point of view of a child aged seven to nine, who cannot understand many of the facts. The full price is 13 euros, the reduced price is 10 euros, and under-18s have their own price. The listing gives 18:00 as the end. A one-hour reading on a Sunday afternoon is an easy plan alone. «Lecture théâtralisée dans le cadre de la Quinzaine Américaine.» Starts 17:00, ends about 18:00.

More Jet Lag Punk Show, three bands, Bois-d'Arcy

More Jet Lag

On Saturday 21 November 2026 at 20:00 the club More Jet Lag in Bois-d'Arcy, a town in the Yvelines west of Paris, holds an evening of three punk concerts with the bands Poésie Zéro from Rueil-Malmaison, Qu4tre and Circle Dudes. The listing says entry is free and refers to the organisers' social media page for all the details. The listing gives 23:00 as the end. A free punk night in a small club is easy to try on your own: people stand close to the stage, the bands play short sets, and the changeovers between them are the natural moment to chat with the people next to you or to get a drink. Since the programme is small and local, it is also a good way to discover young bands from the western suburbs of Paris. «Soirée de concerts punk, au More Jet Lag. Entrée gratos.» Starts 20:00, ends about 23:00. Source: OpenAgenda — Agenda BoxSons (open data).

First time?

How to join a book club alone

  1. Check the book, then relax. Many groups welcome people who have not finished it — the official page says if reading ahead matters.
  2. Arrive five minutes early and tell the host it is your first time; they will introduce you.
  3. Say one thing — a line you liked or a question. That is enough for a first evening.
  4. Nothing that suits you? Host a silent reading night: 60 minutes silent, 15 minutes talk, phones away, any book, finish at a café.
