Sarah Winman is an actress and best-selling novelist, now living in London. Her debut, When God was a Rabbit, was critically acclaimed as 'sharply funny', 'recognizably true and heart-breaking'. Now, her second novel, A Year of Marvellous Ways, recounts the tale of an unlikely friendship between an old woman coming to the end of her life, and a young soldier who sees little point going on with his.
Sarah Winman is a compelling reader of her work. Join Sarah and Selina Guinness for an entertaining evening of Marvellous Ways and talk of love, loss and cold-water swimming.

The Pale Project and Beyond: New Writing & Place-making
|
|
Saturday 28 May at 11am
The Studio, dlr LexIcon
In association with Artnet dlr
“How can I ever describe the exuberant richness and multiplicity of culture in this place to you? This is both my task and my delight.” The Gentle Author.
In 2009, The Gentle Author pledged to write 10,000 stories about the area of East London where he lives, on his blog, Spitalfields Life. The Gentle Author’s London Album, a gift from the novelist, Sarah Winman, inspired this year’s Pale Project, run by dlr writer-in-residence, Selina Guinness.
Now Selina has invited these two Londoners, Sarah Winman and The Gentle Author, to reflect on the ethics of writing about real communities in a changing world. They will be discussing what writers owe to their literary territories, and how blogs can foster shared citizenship among readers. What might similar initiatives gain for place-making in Dublin and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown?
