Jessie Burton & Jonathan Grimwood at Edinburgh Book Festival 2014
Meet two writers with cutting edge historical novels: Jonathan Grimwood is the author of award-winning alternate history stories (as Jon Courtenay Grimwood), but here he enters new territory with his breathtaking novelistic feast The Last Banquet. Jessie Burton, meanwhile, was the subject of a frenzied publishing battle to gain the rights for her Dutch Golden Age-set debut, The Miniaturist.
成人快手 Arts is showcasing some of the most exciting new talent appearing at this year鈥檚 Edinburgh Book Festival featuring authors appearing under its 鈥楩irst Book Award鈥� umbrella. It is a chance to hear both debut authors and international writers newly translated into English, who promise to take literary Edinburgh by storm.
