A new book titled At the Table of Female Writers has been released, bringing together the works of 30 Francophone female authors from the Francophone Writers' Parliament (PEF). This unique collection connects recipes with personal stories and cultural heritage, offering readers a blend of culinary traditions and narrative reflections. Published by Editions des Femmes-Antoinette Fouque, the book features contributions from well-known authors such as Marie-Rose Abomo-Maurin, Marijo Alie, and Leïla Slimani. Each author pairs a recipe with a personal episode, whether it's a memory from childhood, a family tradition, or a moment of connection with others. The PEF, established in 2017 and now including over 170 women, seeks to amplify the voices of Francophone female authors globally while advocating for the rights of both women and men. The book includes an exclusive extract that will be published on 29 October 2026, adding to its anticipation. In addition to At the Table of Female Writers, several other notable publications are set for release in the coming months. The Thousand Deaths of Una the Eternal by Alix E. Harrow recently won the 2026 Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel, highlighting its significance in the fantasy genre. The Clay and the Fire by Ian Manook is scheduled to be released on 7 October 2026, while other titles include The Scent of Tea Leaves by Camille Monceaux and The Collector of the Montparnasse Cemetery by Ernestine Garnier. Further additions to the literary calendar include The Absence or Chimeras of the Morsan Country by Tiphaine Raffier, The Fall of Eddie Blanket by Melissa Lucashenko, and The Ice Creams by Rébecca Déraspe and Yoakim Bélanger.

A biography of the French actor Jean Gabin, titled Gabin from A to Z by Mathias Moncorgé and Patrick Glâtre, will be published on 1 October 2026, and Chat Larme by Hélène Cixous will be released on 8 October 2026.
