I'm in London this weekend, for the Battle of Ideas

DateFriday, October 31, 2008 at 03:52AM

Almost forgot to mention... I'll be chatting about writers and cities at the Battle of Ideas in London on Saturday.

There's going to be a short film, Kolkata City of Literature, directed by Soumyak Kanti De Biswas and Tanaji Dasgupta, followed by a discussion with Professor Swapan Chakravorty, Gerry Feehily, and me.

The chat (or battle)  is called Text and the City: what is a city of literature?, and will be chaired by Tiffany Jenkins. For more on exactly what it is, where it is, and when we kick off, click here.
