Katie Kitamura

Worlds Literature Festival, Norwich, 20-24 June

June 16th, 2011

The annual Worlds Literature Festival takes place in Norwich from 20th-24th June this year, with a variety of public events and speakers including Joseph O’Connor, John Boyne, A.S. Byatt, Hisham Matar and many more.

Tuesday’s Summer Read event features a personal favourite of mine. Katie Kitamura (pictured) will be reading from her flawless debut novel about a prizefighter The Longshot (6pm, Norfolk and Norwich Millennium Library). As it says on the back of the book, ‘Hemingway’s returned to life – and this time, he’s a woman’ (Tom McCarthy).
