A heads-up for the Mancunian magical realists among you: Louis de Bernieres will be reading from his work at a public event at Manchester University's Martin Harris Centre at 5.30 a week on Monday (October 24).
The event is the first in the university's new Creative Writing Readers Series, which is designed to offer a wider audience the opportunity to meet with and question established writers after listening to them read. Other writers who are scheduled to appear include Toby Litt (Nov 14) and AL Kennedy (Dec 5), followed by Will Self in March and Sarah Waters in May.
Tickets are £5.00, and can be booked by email boxoffice@manchester.ac.uk or by calling 0161 275 8951.
