ReBerth: Writing the City
Date: Friday, 05 December 2008 | 1:00pm - 3:00pm
Location: Sandon Room
Ticket Prices: Free but booking required
ReBerth is a new anthology of short stories from the ‘Cities on the Edge’ – Gdansk, Bremen, Liverpool, Istanbul, Marseilles and Naples – 6 European port cities with a shared history of immigration, cultural diversity, political dissent and economic reinvention.
ReBerth author Dinesh Allirajah (Liverpool) and fellow authors from the ‘Cities on the Edge’ project join translator Dr Rebecca Braun and Liverpool sociophonetics expert Dr Kevin Watson to discuss just what it is that gives these cities their peculiar ‘edginess’ and how writers reflect this in their fiction.
