Organized by the EHRC
Tuesday 5 March 2013, 5.00-7.00 pm, in the Taylor Institution (Main Hall), St Giles.
The participants will include members of the Modern Languages Faculty and other Faculties. The round table will also celebrate achievements by prize-winning colleagues: Patrick McGuinness’s The Last 100 Days was recently long-listed for the Man Booker Prize; Nicola Gardini won the 2012 Premio Viareggio for fiction; and the poet, Antonella Anedda, won the poetry prize in the 2012 edition of the Premio Viareggio. The Viareggio Prize is one of the most prestigious literary awards in Italy and is roughly equivalent to the Man Booker prize in the UK.
This will be a two-part event:
- Readings from recent prize-winners in Modern Languages: Antonella Anedda and Jamie McKendrick; Patrick McGuinness, Nicola Gardini;
- Round table on Creative Writing and Academia with input from all of those involved in part 1 plus Bernard O'Donoghue & Matthew Reynolds.
There will be a wine reception at 6.30 in the Hall.
All welcome
