Once upon a time, in another century, I sat in a Norwich pub & talked about Améry & Arendt with Max Sebald. We were both, as usual, smoking.

I taught at UEA for nearly 25 years, so I'm thrilled to be returning to talk about 'We are Free.' There will no smoking, but lots of fun!

Thanks for the beautiful cover Barbican Press as well as everything else!

So proud to have been part of this project. We have produced a book without precedent anywhere as far as we know - 3 communities writing about nature and landscape in 3 languages. And a phenomenal film from our colleagues at INRAE Santé des Plantes et Environnement Toulouse. Literature@UEA UEA Research 📚🎦
