Will Self
The Booker-shortlisted author of Umbrella talks to former Guardian Culture associate editor Claire Armitstead about his most American novel yet — a brilliant portrait of a 1950s housewife, based on the life of the author’s mother, and an exploration of sexual freedom and sublimated desire.
Please note that due to Will Self recently undergoing stem cell transplant surgery this event will be a live link-up, with on-stage host Claire Armitstead talking to Will Self from St Mary of Charity via a link-up at his home in south London. Signed copies of Elaine will be available at the festival bookstore at the event.
Wayne Sleep
Dancer and entertainer Wayne Sleep talks to Marg Mayne about his life both on and off stage. In his memoir Just Different he looks back on the extraordinary times he has lived through, from dancing with ballet legends Rudolf Nureyev and Margot Fonteyn to the prejudices he faced as a working-class, gay man and living through the Aids epidemic. Expect laughter, tears, and plenty of gossip.
