Literary Norwich Special

Available for over a year

Open Book travels to Norwich to explore the city's literary pedigree. As the University of East Anglia's Creative Writing MA prepares to turn 50, former students including Anne Enright and Emma Healey, and student turned tutor Andrew Cowan, discuss its impact. In the week of Doris Lessing's centenary, Mariella pays a visit to an exhibition showcasing the gems of her archive, and meets curators Justine Mann and Nonia Williams. Novelist Ashley Hickson Lovence explains how the move from London to Norwich has shaped his writing. And the founders of Galley Beggar Press, the only independent publisher to make this year's Booker Prize shortlist, discuss the pleasures and challenges of running their business from their home.
