Join four celebrated authors with suitcases full of travelling experience, as they reflect on how travel can inform and inspire new writing. Novelist and playwright Alan Bissett, novelist Anne Donovan, and poets William Letford and Ryan van Winkle will tell stories about their excursions, from Iraq to Pakistan. They will also read poems, fiction and explore the unexpected narratives they uncovered along the way. Writers Return is an event series by the British Council which has been on the road across the UK, visiting Derry-Londonderry, Swansea and York and has featured writers including Kei Miller and Elif Shafak.

 

The British Council – the UK’s international organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities – today announced that celebrated writers Alan Bissett, Anne Donovan, William Letford and Ryan Van Winkle will speak at the International Anthony Burgess Foundation on 19 November. The event is part of the British Council Writers Return live literature series, a programme that sees writers recently returned from overseas, share new work inspired by their trips abroad, talking about where they’ve been; where they’re going; and how it informs their writing.
