Monday 24 March, 7pm: David A. Andelman will read from A Shattered Peace: Versailles 1919 and the Price we Pay Today. Andelman offers a compelling new perspective on the origin of many of today's most critical international issues.

Andelman, Executive Editor of Forbes.com, has reported from more than fifty countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East as a foreign correspondent for the New York Times and CBS News. He has also served as Washington correspondent for CNBC, senior editor of Bloomberg News, and as business editor of the New York Daily News, and is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. Praise for A Shattered Peace 'The peace settlements that followed World War I have recently come back into focus as one of the dominant factors shaping the modern world. The Balkans, the Middle East, Iraq, Turkey, and parts of Africa all owe their present-day problems, in part, to these negotiations. David Andelman brings it all back to life—the lofty ideals, the ugly compromises, the larger-than-life personalities who came to Paris in 1919. And he links that far-away diplomatic dance to present-day problems to illuminate our troubled times. A tremendous addition to this vitally important subject.' - Ambassador Richard Holbrooke

I have read (this book) four times by now, and each time I have discovered new layers in it. The voice is cool and pure. Bleak is the right word, if you will understand that bleakness can have a startling beauty." "... an accomplished Iranian novel... FOREIGNER avoids political comment. Its protest is more oblique, the political constriction drives the passion deeper, and the novel with all its air of innocence, is a novel of violation, helplessness and defeat."

All the talk is of the new blue planet...This new world weighs a yatto-gram. But everything is trial-size; tread-on-me-tiny or blurred-out-of-focus huge. There are leaves that have grown as big as cities, and there are birds that nest in cockleshells. On the white sand there are long-toed claw prints deep as nightmares, and there are rock pools in hand-hollows finned by fish... As The Times says, "this is a story about love. But it is a novel about story-telling. It places narrative endeavour at the heart of personal identity: through telling stories of who we are, where we came from and how our world evolved, we reinvent that world and constantly refashion it. . . . Her writing is funny and beautiful. It cocoons the novel’s dark heart: a society that has lost its innocence . . .” Jeanette Winterson is the author of Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit, The Passion, Sexing The Cherry, Written On The Body, Art & Lies, Art Objects, Gut Symmetries, The World And Other Places, The.Powerbook, Lighthousekeeping, Weight, a book for children: The King of Capri, and Tanglewreck, a novel for older children.

This novel, re-imagining the life of writer Charmian Clift, is one of the most powerful and moving Australian novels of recent times.

Katherine Elgin grew up in a small coastal town in Australia, desperate to transcend her beginnings and make her mark. From her rebellious and contemplative childhood, Katherine emerges as a stunningly beautiful young woman, with a voracious appetite for life’s most interesting experiences and an overwhelming desire to write the best book she possibly can. But beauty is a double-edged sword and throughout her life – from Sydney, to London, to the islands of Greece – Katherine carries the burden of being both siren and artist. “The Broken Book confirms Johnson's status as one of the finest Australian writers . . . fiercely beautiful.” - The Australian

Monday 5 November, 7pm: The prolific, award-winning Michael Moorcock, author of close to one hundred novels, will be reading from his latest book The Metatemporal Detective. Where Michael Moorcock fits into the history of British literature depends on when the historian is writing. During the 1950s, he’d figure as the precocious editor of Tarzan Adventures and the Sexton Blake mystery novels. A decade later, you'd find him mentioned for Behold The Man, about a time traveller seeking Jesus, and as prolific creator of prototypical fantasy hero Elric of Melnibone, though another account would cite novels like The Final Programme, and their sexually ambiguous messiah figure Jerry Cornelius. In 1964, Moorcock took over New Worlds, Britain’s only remaining science fiction magazine, and gleefully inoculated it with the virus of the counterculture. A generation of experimental futurist writers, including J.G. Ballard, Norman Spinrad and Thomas Disch, surfed to fame on the resulting New Wave. Fronting his own band Deep Fix, Moorcock also performed and wrote for rock groups Hawkwind and Blue Oyster Cult, and survived Hollywood exile as a screenwriter, only to re-emerge in the 1980s with Whitbread-shortlisted Mother London, “a vast, sprawling, eccentric… masterful comic novel [which] seems to encapsulate the history of postwar Britain in its dizzy decline.” (Publishers Weekly), and the Colonel Pyat books, including Byzantium Endures and The Vengeance of Rome – picaresque narratives beginning in revolutionary Russia and ending in Nazi Germany which, wrote Robert Nye in the Guardian, put Moorcock “straight into the front rank of contemporary English novelists.”

Monday 17 September 7pm Anne-Marie Drosso will be reading from Cairo Stories. Egypt is the setting for this collection, but the stories are universal – whether it’s the girl whose mother no longer seems to recognise her, a young man who uses the changing political climate to humiliate the family patriarch, or the woman consumed by guilt for abandoning her children. Echoing V.S. Pritchett’s words, they “look for the silent moment in which our singularity breaks through when emotions change, without warning, and reveal themselves.” And while revealing themselves they also unveil the scents and sensations of modern Cairo, from the early 1930s to the present day. Anne-Marie Drosso was born in Cairo in 1951 and now lives in London. Praise for Cairo Stories “These elegant, unadorned narratives of Egyptians at home and at large, as variegated as the city from which they take their name, span classes, continents and decades with confidence and humour. We are in the company of a hugely promising and individual talent. ” Aamer Hussein, author of Insomnia
Friday 14 Sept September 7pm Daniel Mendelsohn will be reading from The Lost: A Search for Six of Six Million. In this rich and riveting narrative, a writer's search for the truth behind his family's tragic past in World War II becomes a remarkably original epic part memoir, part reportage, part mystery, and part scholarly detective work, that brilliantly explores the nature of time and memory, family and history. In Washington Post Book World, Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel called The Lost "a vast, highly colored tapestry...a remarkable personal narrative, rigorous in its search for truth, at once tender and exacting." The New York Review of Books called it "the most gripping, the most amazing true story I have read in years", the Los Angeles Times, "magnificent and deeply wise" and the Chicago Tribune, "a work of major significance and pummeling impact". Daniel Mendelsohn is the author of two other books, Gender and the City in Euripides' Political Plays and The Elusive Embrace: Desire and the Riddle of Identity, a memoir of sexual identity and family history which was named a New York Times Notable Book of the Year and a Los Angeles Times Best Book of the Year. Mendelsohn's translations have appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times, New York, The New York Review of Books, The Nation, Esquire, and The Paris Review. His first book, The Elusive Embrace, was named a New York Times Notable Book of the Year and a Los Angeles Times Best Book of the Year.

Monday 27 August 7pm: Travis Jeppesen will be reading from his novel Wolf at the Door published by Twisted Spoon Press. A sculptor dying of a mysterious illness leaves the city behind in order to live out his final days in solitude in a village somewhere in Eastern Europe. His sole contact is with a deaf-mute gravedigger named Vojtech, a golem-like figure who delivers the necessary provisions — when he remembers to show up. A nameless wanderer traverses the barren streets of an unknown city in search of his next prey ... Infused with schizophrenic logic and a gleefully unique syntax, Travis Jeppesen's debut novel, Victims, reads like a fictional embodiment of outsider art. — Village Voice

Monday 23 July, 7pm: Paul Schmidtberger will be reading from his first novel ‘Design Flaws of the Human Condition’, published by Random House.

Ultimately, every character unweaves and re-braids their hidden truths and exposes the chain of inner mysteries that binds them. This story is perfumed by an exotic sensuality that drifts through the novel as characters journey to ashrams, cafes, and kitchen tables in their attempt to find meaning in their lives and reconcile their souls through their community and self-awareness.

Saturday 21 to Sunday 22 April: Travel writing weekend workshop This two-day event will suit anyone - from complete beginners to practised writers - who wants to spend time absorbed in the spirit of a superb location, learning how to turn first-hand experience into travel writing, and get it published. Based at Shakespeare & Company, the course takes you out into the streets and cafes of Paris on a series of writing challenges, to learn how to turn first-hand travel experience into good travel writing. Two days of developing your key skills in this practical way will include supportive feedback and learning from past masters. An optional third day looks in detail at how the market works and how to get your work published, whether for articles or books. The course is led by British travel magazine editor Jonathan Lorie, who was born in Paris, and includes a special Bonus Topic on 'writing with symbols and memories' - assisted by Jonathan's own experience as a writer who was born in Paris and for whom the city has many symbols - as it does for so many travellers. This is a very intensive, hands-on course, making full use of the unique setting to practise travel writing ‘live on location’. It will also be great fun, as we visit atmospheric places in the city to gather material. And, of course, we pay homage to the great writers who have also struggled to write about Paris. You can attend the course for Saturday and Sunday only, or add on the Monday session too. Full details and tickets are at www.travellerstales.org. Course fee is €320 ($410, £200) for two days, or €460 ($460, £300) for three days. Places are still available.
