A James Tait Black Visiting Writers Series Event. 5.00-6.00pm, with reception to follow, Monday 13 February, G.01, ground floor, 50 George Square
A conversation on writing lives with the brilliant biographer and critic Frances Wilson. Frances Wilson has written exhilarating biographies, as daring as they are elegant, with remarkable historical range, which all raise questions and shape new possibilities for the forms of life-writing. In tonight’s interview, chaired by Simon Cooke, Frances will be speaking across her work as a biographer and on issues in writing lives, and gives an insight into her work on her current book – on Muriel Spark.
This event and the associated masterclass launches the James Tait Black Visiting Writers Series, launched in 2023 thanks to the generosity of a former JTB Prize winner, who wishes to remain anonymous. The gift to the Prizes is being used to establish a James Tait Black Library and Archive, as well as this visiting writers series.
