Joseph O'Connor and John Boyne celebrating Norwich UNESCO City of Literature

Description

Join us at the University of East Anglia Drama Studio and enjoy an evening with two brilliant writers – John Boyne and Joseph O’Connor - from Dublin, UNESCO City of Literature.

Norwich is currently bidding to become a UNESCO City of Literature. Following the inaugural UNESCO keynote from Ian MCEwan in 2009, we once again celebrate this important international literature network.

John Boyne will read from his new novel The Absolutist set in war-time Norwich. His 2006 novel, The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas, topped the New York Times bestseller list, won several international literary awards and was made into a Miramax feature film.

Joseph O’Connor, the author of Star of the Sea will read from his exhilarating love story Ghost Light, which is one of our 2011 Summer Reads and was chosen for this year’s ‘Dublin: One City, One Book' campaign.

Help celebrate Norwich’s bid for UNESCO City of Literature status and prepare to be charmed and moved.
