Thomas Schlesser discusses and signs MONA'S EYES


About this Event

Please join us here at Barnes & Noble Upper West Side in welcoming Thomas Schlesser discussing and signing MONA'S EYES. A purchase of MONA'S EYES from Barnes & Noble Upper West Side is required to join the signing line at this event. Please call ahead and speak to a bookseller and reserve your copy.

Mona's Eyes is a heartfelt, enlightening journey across five centuries of Western art history. With the emotional impact of The Elegance of the Hedgehog and the readability of The Little Paris Bookshop, Thomas Schlesser's sensational debut novel is at once a moving book about the beauty of life and a deeply touching story about the special bond between a girl and her grandfather.

Thomas Schlesser is the director of the Hartung-Bergman Foundation in Antibes, France. He teaches Art History at the École Polytechnique in Paris. He is the grandson of André Schlesser, known as Dadé, a singer and cabaret performer who founded the Cabaret L’Écluse. Mona’s Eyes is Schlesser’s American debut. It has been translated into thirty-eight languages, including Braille. Schlesser was named 2025’s Author of the Year by Livres Hebdo.
