Life-Writing Lunch Seminar: prize-winning British novelist and travel-writer Joanna Kavenna, author of The Ice Museum (2006), Inglorious (2007) and The Birth of Love (2010). Kavenna will talk about time, memory and the self. She’ll discuss individual experience and how we pass through different stages of life – the child, the teenager, the adult, perhaps the parent, later the elderly person – changing all the time. Yet, there is something continuous within this process of individual metamorphosis, otherwise we would cease to recognise ourselves; we would lapse into incoherence. How do we fashion our life stories? How do we fathom and describe the changing self? Free of charge. Please book online at www.oxforduniversitystores.co.uk (go to Product Catalogue, select Oxford Centre for Life-Writing, and this event is listed under seminars). A sandwich lunch will be provided.
