| Sumario: | L'Atelier du Roman, a French literary magazine solely concerned with novels, organized a symposium in Greece to let contributors express views about literary matters. Although the magazine lives on the edge of financial disaster, it refuses to hide behind the constrictions of the “subsidized little magazine.” The symposium attracted a wide range of participants, who presented a broad array of papers, many of them addressing the problems of globalization. L'Atelier's campaign against the opposition, that is, cultural white noise, political dumbing down, and possibly globalization, depends, as Paris's culture has, on immigrant voices that have learned that openness is a cultural, as well as personal, prerequisite in societal affairs.
