On Friday, December 5 at 7pm, the AFDC will host a discussion panel who will talk about Gary as a diplomat, as a man in history and as a man of letters. The panel will include the Consul General of France, Olivier Serot-Almeras; the Delegate General of the Fondation Alliance Francaise Paris in the US, Jean-François Hans and the Alliance Française de Washington DC’s Executive Director, Sarah Pickup-Diligenti.
