Alexander McCall Smith, one of the world’s most prolific and best-loved authors, discusses the art of combining traditional publishing formats with contemporary writing. From serial novels printed in daily chunks on the pages and websites of our newspapers to a re-imagining of the work of Jane Austen for a 21st century audience, this promises to be an hour of great entertainment. Join him as he reveals his version of Emma for the very first time and shares the latest news from Botswana, Edinburgh, Ireland and further afield. The event is free but booking in advance is required.
