Innovative books

Thanks to digital creation, new forms of reading arouse the curiosity of audiences and open up new narrative potential. For this edition of Novembre Numérique, many audiences are invited to discover these innovative stories. The Alliance française de Kuala Lumpur has invited Sophie Taboni and Nicolas Catherin to create Ici tout va bien, a travel journal in Oceania that combines drawing and photography to tell a story of discovery of a foreign culture in a humorous way. In Cameroon, the public is also invited to take part in creative experiments with workshops based on BDnF, a fun application developed by the BnF that allows users to create digital comic strips.
