Book Festival!

A few more things booked for the weekend - tonight:

Xiaolu Guo and Mariana Lewycka (I'll be thinking of you Pipi!) talk about stories they wrote in honour of the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights - stories based on the concept of freedom. For those not familiar with their published work - try these:

'A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers' (Guo)
'A Short History of Tractors in Ukranian' (Lewycka)

Sunday:

Marg (of course) - maybe won't sleep properly Saturday night. I might want to become a groupie. I might already BE one.

Jo Tatchell and the rise of Abu Dhabi from fishing village to wealthiest city on earth and global impact, etc etc. This one was Stu's choice. We'll see.

ALSO - Jupiter Artland this Sunday (http://www.jupiterartland.org/). Should be amazing, hope to get some awesome photis.

Eeeep, so little time until life settles back into non-Festivaliness. Must make concerted effort to see EVERYTHING!

Love.
