Dulwich Literary Festival: 6th-13th Nov - including Jung Chang, Konnie Huq and Natalie Haynes


Recommended Posts

Dulwich Literary Festival returns from 6th - 13th November with a stellar line-up of speakers. We hope that there is something that catches your eye - whether it?s Natalie Haynes?s feminist retelling of the story of Troy or Emma Smith?s insightful & innovative take on Shakespeare. Or come along to listen to the brilliant novelists Louise Doughty (author of Apple Tree Yard, adapted into a hit BBC series) & Howard Jacobson (Booker Prize winner) talk about their work.


For kids, we have a fun-filled event with the fabulous Konnie Huq, including quizzes, games and exploding science experiments! Finally, to close the Festival, we are honoured to have Jung Chang (author of the international bestseller Wild Swans) with us, speaking about her new book, Big Sister, Little Sister, Red Sister - a group biography of the Soong sisters, three extraordinary women who helped shape twentieth-century China.

    • Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.
    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
