EdBookFest: Michael Hofmann

Stuart Kelly is apparently a great admirer of writer, translator and critic Michael Hofmann. He says that people are wrong to think that critics are envious of authors; they are in fact envious of other critics. However it seems Hofmann is more comfortable as a writer than a raconteur as throughout the session Kelly had to work to get him to expand … [Read more...] about EdBookFest: Michael Hofmann

EdBookFest: Jesse Jackson

Jesse Jackson is not a man who needs much of an introduction and anyone who has heard him speak knows that it is quite an experience. He walked in shaking hands with everyone within reach and it seemed as if the chair, Ruth Wishart, couldn’t quite believe she was actually on stage with him.
