    Rara-Avians traveling to Paris this winter can visit an exhibit on Dashiell Hammett at the Bibliothèque des Littératures Policières (called BiLiPo for short), which is the world's only library dedicated to crime fiction. (Even without the Hammett exhibit, BiLiPo is worth a visit in its own right.)

    The Hammett exhibit is entitled "Le mystère Hammett, la naissance du roman noir américain" and it opens on November 5th. The exhibit is curated by Natalie Beunat, author of the book "Dashiell Hammett: Parcours d'une oeuvre," and the translator of Hammett's letters and much of his fiction into French.

    Admission is free.

    WHERE: Bibliothèque des Littératures Policières (BiLiPo), 48-50 rue du Cardinal Lemoine, 75005 Paris
    (Metro station Cardinal Lemoine or Jussieu)

    Phone 01 42 34 93 00.

    WHEN: Exhibit begins November 5, 2009. BiLiPo is open Tuesday-Friday 2pm - 6pm, Saturday 10am – 5pm.
