Very much looking forward to reading from The Leizpig Affair at the Literaturhaus in Halle on 18 September. I haven't been to Halle since 1986 so I'm expecting to see some changes.
The reading is part of a conference at the Martin Luther University in Halle-Wittenberg on British literary engagement with the "second world", which means the countries behind the Iron Curtain - a fascinating topic. After the reading, I'll be in converstation with Katrin Berndt, professor of English literature and culture at the university, about the inspiration behind the book.
Join us if you can!
