About this Event

We are delighted to anounce that our Big Read author event with Clive Myrie, which had to be cancelled in October, is now rescheduled for Friday 13th December.

Clive Myrie is a celebrated journalist, who has reported from hotspots all over the world, and latterly hosted the BBC’s News at Ten and Mastermind.

His journalistic career has taken him to over 80 countries across multiple continents, from Asia to Africa and the Americas, covering some of the biggest stories of our time. From the British-American invasion of Iraq to the impeachment of then President Bill Clinton, from Russia's war on Ukraine to the final of the Euros in Berlin, he has witnessed the defining moments of recent history and brought those stories home from the front-lines to the front-page.

Now, he’s coming to Kingston University, as our 2024 Kingston University Big Read author. His book, Everything is Everything is our choice. Copies for staff and students can be obtained from any KU library, and for the wider community from any bookshop. In the book, you will learn about the history that brought his family to the UK from Jamaica; the fast-paced world of on-the-ground journalism, and the worst possible time to wear a red shirt.

Join us, Clive, and your KU community in the award-winning Town House on Friday, 13th December for the Big Read Author Event.

As well as his talk Clive will be answering questions from the audience and signing copies of his book, so remember to bring yours along! The Big Read Author Event is always a highlight of the year, and we hope to see you there to celebrate Clive Myrie, Everything is Everything, and the tenth anniversary of the Big Read here at Kingston. Thank you for joining us on this journey, and for a decade of shared-reading.
