‘Once upon a time in the East’
After a decade in Europe award winning author and film maker Xiaolu Guo will share passages from her extraordinary memoir ‘Once Upon a Time in the East.’ Described as a 'Wild Swans' for a new generation, the BBC4 Book of the Week which details the author’s incredible life journey, is a handbook of life lessons - from beginnings in a state of malnutrition living in a fishing village on the East China Sea to film school in a burgeoning Beijing and a scholarship to Britain, her now adopted home. This rebellious and moving piece provides the perfect backdrop for an evening of insightful discussion on the themes of migration, literature and Xiaolu’s creative life as writer and film maker.
SPECIAL OFFER - If you book also to see She, A Chinese(18), Xiaolu Guo's award winning 2009 film adaptation of her own novel (screening on Friday 27 October at Taliesin Arts Centre), you will receive a 20% discount on the combined ticket price.
Books available to purchase on the night from Cover to Cover.
