Following the publication of a review of «Pop-corn Girl»—a short story tinged with irony and stereotypes about the misadventures of a young woman from Geneva on an exchange program in a Chicago suburb—we continue our exploration of Laure Mi Hyun Croset’s work. So join us at the Café des Voisins in Geneva to learn more about her approach to her work and to literature.

«A »microroman" with a full-bodied flavor of teen movies and Voltairean irony, Pop-corn girl is a pleasant, funny read about the (mis)adventures of a young Genevan exchange student in a Chicago suburb. A mocking ode that appeals to our adolescent fantasies, revisited through a slightly cynical adult prism. And with a hammer blow, it shatters our illusions as well as those of the protagonist, which turns out to be very sympathetic.
