This month will see Cambridge Literary Festival host a virtual event with author Ali Smith, who will be discussing Summer, the final instalment of her seasonal quartet. Available to watch at 7pm on 13 August, the broadcast will feature festival honorary patron Alex Clark as chair. Alex and Ali know each other very well, with Alex having interviewed Ali many times over the years for the festival as well as in her role as a journalist for The Guardian.
“It’s such an exciting thrill, honour and privilege for CLF to host this exclusive event,” enthuses festival director Cathy Moore. “Ali’s talks over the years have mesmerised and captivated audiences; she has an ability like no other to capture with words what the rest of us are thinking, but hadn’t actually realised. I am an absolute fan and can’t wait to get hold of a copy of the new book.”
