Celebrate Books That Live with internationally renowned author Neil Gaiman and pioneering scholar and translator Emily Wilson, in a conversation moderated by acclaimed writer and translator Maria Dahvana Headley.
This event, part of The Cooper Union's Gardiner Foundation Great Hall Forum series, marks the centenary of W. W. Norton & Company, Inc., the nation's largest independent, employee-owned book publisher. Norton traces its origins straight to The Cooper Union's Great Hall, where, in 1923, William Warder Norton and Mary Dows Herter Norton resolved to publish lectures by leading intellectuals who appeared onstage in a free Sunday series from the People's Institute. Tonight's program brings to life the spirit that inspired the Nortons and explores books that exemplify the firm's motto, Books That Live: timeless myths and epics from preeminent storytellers and translators.
The event also celebrates the release of Wilson's much-anticipated translation of Homer's Iliad and features a special limited-edition hardcover of Gaiman's acclaimed Norse Mythology. Signed copies of both books (Norton), as well as Headley's Beowulf (FSG), will be available for sale at the event by The Strand.

Welcome to ICELAND NOIR - A literary festival celebrating darkness in all its forms

What brings everything together is the theme of darkness. . .
Iceland Noir 2023 will take place in Reykjavík from Wednesday 15th - Saturday 18th of November 2023 at venues in the centre of the city.
General sale and Early Bird tickets are sold out but tickets are still available as a part of a package holiday deal with our sponsor Icelandair.

A special celebration of the remarkable creative life of Sir Terry Pratchett, 40 years after the publication of the first Discworld novel The Colour of Magic.
This event takes place in the British Library and will be simultaneously live streamed on the British Library platform. Tickets may be booked either to attend in person, or to watch on our platform (online) either live or within 48 hours on catch up. Viewing links will be sent out shortly before the event.
Soon after The Colour of Magic was published, it inspired a young journalist Neil Gaiman to meet Terry, beginning a long collaborative friendship that was epitomised by their joint novel Good Omens, which appeared in 1990. The TV version of Good Omens was created by Neil Gaiman, with the first season on screen in 2019 and the second earlier this year.
Neil is joined Terry Pratchett’s biographer and former assistant Rob Wilkins, in a conversation hosted by Kat Brown.
