Cambridge Wordfest and Meet the Romans
annie_cambridge Started conversation Apr 17, 2012
Spent most of last weekend at Cambridge Wordfest, our local literary festival. Great fun, but usually results in spending more £££ than I intended, either on books or on food and drink!
Went to talks by/conversations with: Iain Banks, Ian Rankin, Alain de Botton, William Boyd, Julian Clary, Grace Dent. Also 'City Picks' - readings from an anthology of works set in/about Cambridge, and a session about Irene Nemirovsky, with Angela Kershaw, who has written about her, and Sandra Smith, IN's translator.
On Sunday evening, I had got a team together for the literary quiz. Really good fun, and we didn't do too badly - joint 4th out of 11 teams.

And forgot to put in the second part of the title - now looking forward to the first part of Mary Beard's series on Rome, 9pm on BBC2.
