SUMMARY:Wazo - Pour Tout L'Or de Brest
DESCRIPTION:Drifting through squats\, punk gigs\, courtrooms and factory shifts\, Wazo delivers a raw\, fast-paced memoir of life on the margins in 1990s Brest — a city as gritty as it is poetic. In Pour tout l’or de Brest\, he recounts his wild youth as a “clown\, delinquent and tightrope walker\,” caught between rebellion and survival\, with a sharp sense of humor and deep love for his city and its misfits. \nNeither bitter nor nostalgic\, Wazo offers a lucid\, often hilarious account of personal chaos and collective struggle\, carried by the pulse of a generation that refused to play by the rules. \nTo mark the release\, we’re hosting Wazo and the team from Éditions La Jouanie for an evening of stories\, conversation\, and signed books — straight from the docks of Brest to the shelves of Paris. \nA must for readers into underground literature\, punk culture\, and brutally honest storytelling. \n📅 Saturday\, July 5🕔 5:00 – 7:00 PM📍 Le Grand Jeu Bookstore

SUMMARY:Azie Faison - Game Over
DESCRIPTION:Papermundi\, together with Driver\, bring us the first French translation of Game Over\, the raw and unfiltered memoir of Harlem’s legendary drug lord\, Azie Faison. At just 21\, Faison was earning over half a million dollars a week. But by 1990\, he had left the drug trade behind\, determined to tell his story — long before rap turned him into an icon. \nTo celebrate the release\, we’re hosting the team behind Papermundi for a special evening focused on the book and the editorial journey behind it. \nA must for fans of true crime\, hip-hop culture\, and independent publishing. \n📅 July 1st🕐 6:00 – 8:00 PM📍 Le Grand Jeu Bookstore

SUMMARY:L'Amicale du Hibou-Spectateur
DESCRIPTION:What do monikers\, anti-fascist censorship\, imaginary birds\, and cinephile graffiti have in common? All are part of the sprawling and unconventional Fonds documentaire de l’Amicale du Hibou-Spectateur — a collective archive exploring forms of “wild” writing in public space. \nThe Owl-Watcher Society (Amicale du Hibou-Spectateur) is an informal research group launched in 2021 by Jiem L’Hostis and Mathieu Tremblin\, joined by Stéphane Bruneau. Made up of artists\, researchers\, and curious onlookers\, the group digs into vernacular inscriptions — from graffitomania to name writing — and shares its findings through publications\, exhibitions\, and public events. \nFor this special evening at Le Grand Jeu\, the collective presents the latest additions to their living archive:🔹 North American Monikers by Myles Hunter🔹 Graffiti in Comic Books digitized by Obisk 93🔹 Cinephile Graffitomania from Brittany by Les Frères Ripoulain \nThe presentation is rounded out by fresh releases from Éditions Carton-pâte:🔸 Osez Zorro by Stéphane Moscato — a visual investigation of antifascist erasures in Southern France🔸 Street Impressions by Brad Downey — a photographic record of swastika censorships in Sofia\, Bulgaria🔸 Corpus Crispi by Taïeb — an urban fairytale that doubles as a therapeutic purge of a certain feathered hallucination \nJoin us for an evening of fringe publishing\, rogue archives\, and wild narratives — and meet the people who collect what the streets leave behind. \n🗓 June 20🕕 6 PM – 8 PM📍 Le Grand Jeu\, Paris

SUMMARY:Tarek Ben Yakhlef - Vandalisme
DESCRIPTION:Graffiti wasn’t always celebrated. In the 80s and 90s\, it was criminalized\, erased\, and dismissed as “vandalism.” And yet\, this raw\, illegal energy was the spark behind many of today’s most respected urban artists. \nWith Vandalisme\, Tarek Ben Yakhlef — author of the cult book Paris Tonkar (1991\, reprinted in 2024) — returns to the origins of French graffiti\, diving into the hidden history of the writing scene in Paris and its suburbs. Through over 500 never-before-seen photographs\, personal stories\, and portraits of key crews and writers\, the book sheds light on the rebellious roots of a movement that shaped cities and subcultures alike. \nJoin us at the bookstore for a book signing of Vandalisme\, published by Massot Éditions. Tarek Ben Yakhlef will be present to discuss the book\, share stories from the early days of graffiti\, and sign copies. \n🗓 June 12🕕 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM📍 Le Grand Jeu\, Paris

SUMMARY:Michaël Barek - Trucs
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to collect what others discard? To turn street waste into visual poetry\, fetish\, or evidence of urban decay? \nTrucs is a book that shouldn’t exist—and yet\, here it is. Shot and assembled by Michaël Barek\, with texts by Mehdi Belhouaïchat\, this 84-page object is part photo essay\, part anthropological drift through the sidewalks of Paris and its suburbs. Every item featured was found on the street. Every photo is a relic of someone else’s trash—reframed as testimony. \nEdited by Éditions Temps Libre in just 50 copies (10 of which come signed and with additional prints)\, Trucs is as useless as it is unsettling. It’s a tribute to compulsion\, perversity\, and the chaotic beauty of the everyday. Call it voyeurism\, call it a manifesto against good taste—either way\, Trucs sticks. \nCome discover it on May 22 at Le Grand Jeu bookstore. No need to bring gloves—we’ve already done the dirty work. \n📅 Thursday\, May 22🕐 6:00 PM – 8:O0 PM📍 Librairie Le Grand Jeu

SUMMARY:Jean-Michel Landon - La Vie des Blocs
DESCRIPTION:What do we really see when we look at the banlieue? Concrete? Tension? Style? Noise? \nLa Vie des Blocs by Jean-Michel Landon is the result of twelve years spent walking\, listening\, and observing from within. Shot in black and white\, built from 123 photographs and raw testimonies\, it offers a patient and poetic counter-narrative to the clichés that weigh on the French suburbs. \nSelf-published by the author as a deliberate gesture of independence\, this book resists simplification. It’s neither a sociological report nor a coffee-table monograph—it’s a slow burn. A document shaped from trust\, time\, and street-level perspective. \nBetween social documentary and visual essay\, La Vie des Blocs captures lives lived behind the stereotypes. Every shot\, every voice\, reclaims space from the noise. \nCome discover it at Le Grand Jeu on May 16\, and meet the author for a signing session. Sometimes\, looking closer is the only way to see. \n📅 Friday\, May 16🕐 6:00 PM – 8:O0 PM📍 Librairie Le Grand Jeu

SUMMARY:Disek - J'irai graffer chez vous
DESCRIPTION:We’re excited to announce the official launch of J’irai graffer chez vous by Disek\, published by Éditions Alternatives\, and to invite you to celebrate this release with us. \nA globetrotting graffiti artist\, Disek has spent the past ten years traveling the world in search of walls to leave his mark on. This journey has been a transformative experience\, changing both the way he paints and the way he travels. Today\, he says\, he no longer paints to “kill” the street\, but to bring it to life. \nThe idea for this book came to him during an unexpected stop in Colombia\, caused by a health issue: “I was looking at photos of my pieces and realized I had at least one interesting story behind each of them. I wanted to share those special moments I spent with people\, many of whom I couldn’t even speak the language with.” \nIn addition to the book\, you can also follow Disek as he paints\, meets locals\, and explores cities and landscapes on his YouTube channel\, inspired by Antoine de Maximy’s show J’irai dormir chez vous. \n📚 Launch – J’irai graffer chez vous by Disek🗓 Thursday\, April 17 | 🕕 6–8 PM📍 Le Grand Jeu Bookstore

SUMMARY:Saeio - Recueils
DESCRIPTION:Ten years after their discreet release\, poessie et running 1 (2014) and poessie et running 2 (2015) by SAEIO are finally making their return to bookstores! \nOriginally self-published in very limited runs\, these two poetry collections quickly became elusive — and legendary for those lucky enough to come across them.
