Bath Literature Festival

The Bath Literature Festival's programme has been published and it is proving popular. Two events I thought I might attend have already sold out!  So get your skates on if you want to attend.

Two other events for which I believe there are still seats available and that will be of interest to translators and other linguists in Bath are these:

Translating Tolstoy on Tuesday 6 March with Rosamund Bartlett who is currently translating  Anna Karenina. She will be in conversation with the Artistic Director of the Festival, James Runcie. It will be interesting to hear about how she tackles her work.



All fans of correct punctuation will be delighted to hear that Lynne Truss, author of Eats, Shoots and Leaves will be talking on that subject on Sunday 11 March. I wonder what her position is on the recent decision by Waterstones to drop their apostrophe?

There are lots more events too! I can't wait.
