Programme Updates as of 5 October 2014

Because his second novel, The Lives of Others, published in September, has been short-listed for the Man Booker prize, 2014, Neel Mukherjee - who was scheduled to talk to the WLS on 17th October - has had to ask for a postponement of the date. The Man Booker prize-winner will be announced on 14 October. Neel’s talk (which will include his reading from the novel) is therefore postponed until a later date, possibly on 14th or 21st November 2014, possibly in 2015. The novel, set in post-independence India, looks intensely at a particular upper middle-class Indian family, its servants and dependents, and at the involvement of one of the sons of the family in armed rebellion against the state. It is a large-scale, ambitious, passionate and rewarding novel. 

Denis Moriarty's talk on John Betjeman has been postponed from 5th to 12 December 2014.

The Rector of St Thomas' Winchelsea, has kindly agreed to talk to us about World War I Literature on Friday 17 October.
