About this Event
Join Professor Alan Riach, author of , for a dynamic encounter with literary luminaries! Explore creativity, unravelling new works, traversing fiction, poetry, paintings, politics and personalities. With free speech silenced or murdered; with 'others' made monstrous by race, religion, nationality, gender; when governments court populism and clickbait media devalues humanity; when politicians streamline lying for votes, malevolent incompetence rules. We’re in trouble. Freedom of expression is Scottish literature’s antidote. Only the arts give trustworthy truths. Such matters are under the spotlight in this thought-provoking session.
