Description
Expect some literary fireworks as we welcome a star-studded trio of science fiction and fantasy (SFF) legends to Bradford Literature Festival.
Adrian Tchaikovsky is author of the acclaimed Shadows of the Apt series and Echoes of the Fall books, as well as several standalone novels. He’s joined by T.L. Huchu, winner of the Nommo Award for African science fiction and fantasy, and dystopian sci-fi thriller writer Ever Dundas who’s been dubbed the heir to the late Iain M. Banks.
Our award-winning panellists will share highlights from their latest releases and the influences behind them, including the systems of magic and science they’ve adopted and how they’ve used these to explore wider societal or philosophical questions. They will also offer their thoughts on the reasons for the growing popularity of SFF and its inclusive appeal.
Audience members are encouraged to take a lateral flow test beforehand and wear a mask at the request of the authors.
