Free the Word!
My reading at the International Pen: Free the Word! event went really well. I read an extract from Language of Trees (29 Ways to Drown). International Futures was MC’ed by the wonderfully punctual and poetic Nii Parkes. There were some great events and readings over the weekend. I had a chance to meet Francisco Goldman, author of The Art of Political Murder: who killed the Bishop? I first read Goldman’s Night of the Long White Chickens at uni(!) so it was a pleasure to chat to him.
Salman Rushdie finished off the festival and was captivating, both in terms of extracts from his new novel The Enchantress of Florence and in the interview with Lisa Appignanesi.
