Sensing Place
Ben Okri & Jon McGregor
7th September, 8pm – 9.30pm
Nottingham Contemporary
What exactly is meant by the term a ‘sense of place’? To
some, it is about geography, landscapes and identities. Others speak of events,
memories, feelings, and the people that live in particular places. For some
readers it is what marks out great writers – those who are able to transport us
and give us that sense of ‘being there’.
Booker Prize winning novelist Ben Okri and Impac Literary
Award winner Jon McGregor,
in conversation with Dr. Corinne Fowler, Lecturer in Post-Colonial Literature
at Leicester University, will discuss what ‘sense of place’ means to them and
how it affects their approach to story-telling.
