About this Event
What are the things that tie a person to a place? How do we come to belong? And what part do memory, language and the external world play in the process? Join Nan Shepherd Prize winning author Nina Mingya Powles and literary translator Polly Barton as they discuss these deep and slippery questions.
Nina Mingya Powles is the author of the August 2021 Stanfords Book of the Month Small Bodies of Water. Polly Barton, winner of the Fitzcarraldo Editions Essay Prize is the author of Fifty Sounds. The discussion will be chaired by Portico Prize winning novelist Jessica Andrews, author of Saltwater.
Start time: 6:30
Ticket Price: £4 (Ticket price redeemable against copies of Small Bodies of Water or Fifty Sounds on the evening of the event)
