Writers' Talks in The Courtauld
Gallery
20 November -
21 January
Ruth Padel, Somerset House Writer in Residence, has
invited six eminent writers from different genres to give a series of exclusive
talks about their favourite painting in
The Courtauld Gallery. Writers include
Philip Pullman, Hisham Matar, Colm Toibin and Jackie Kay.
Each writer has
chosen a work that particularly engages, challenges, provokes or delights them,
and will present their personal reflections during a talk for a small audience,
directly in front of the painting. This will be followed by a book signing and
chance to meet the writer.
