 re: Burning Snowflake.   \n \nThe natural world is burning. Time is runn
 ing out. You know the story. So what possible role could something as fl
 imsy as fiction play?  \n \nFrom the pioneering pen of a continually vis
 ionary writer\, Burning Snowflake is a fierce and rallying cry – to shru
 g off restrictions and imagine radically. It’s also a clarion call to ot
 her writers\, artists and readers for the literary imagination as a vita
 l weapon in the fight for climate survival.  \n \nJoin us for this intim
 ate reading and inaugural premiere of Sarah’s Faber Lecture in the atmos
 pheric Manchester Museum.  \n \nSarah Hall is the award-winning author o
 f seven novels and three short-story collections. Notably\, she is the o
 nly author to win the BBC National Short Story Award twice – first in 20
 13 with ‘Mrs Fox’ and again in 2020 with ‘The Grotesques.’ Her 2025 nove
 l Helm was selected as a Book of the Year by The Observer\, New Statesma
 n\, Financial Times and BBC amongst others. Born in Cumbria\, Sarah is k
 nown for her evocative and wild fiction about place\, nature and people.
  \n \nA Manchester Literature Festival event presented in partnership wi
 th Faber Members\, Centre for New Writing\, Creative Manchester and Manc
 hester Museum.
