Patrick deWitt & Annelies Verbeke at EIBF

29 August, 2pm, Baillie Gifford Corner Theatre

Man Booker nominee Patrick deWitt joins us from Oregon to present his latest novel, Undermajordomo Minor. Set in an Alpine hamlet, a young character stumbles into the investigation of a missing aristocrat. Annelies Verbeke is regarded as a literary phenomenon in Belgium. Her novel Thirty Days features a handyman who has left the city bustle for a rural patch, not realising it has one of the highest suicide rates in western Europe. Chaired by Nick Barley.
