Marina Warner: Fantastically Feminist Fairy Tales
Marina Warner鈥檚 defining, shapeshifting presence in British literature finds new form in a book of short stories, Fly Away Home. Currently Professor of English at Birkbeck College, Warner was also chair of the Man Booker International Prize jury last year. These elegant short stories tread a fine line between the natural and the supernatural, conjuring up sensuality, sentimentality and sadism in an array of vibrant characters. Chaired by Kirsty Logan at the Edinburgh International Book Festival.
