Award-winning writer, acclaimed author and Professor of New Writing at The University of Manchester, Jeanette Winterson returns to the John Rylands Research Institute and Library this Christmas. For years, she has written a new story at Christmas time and twelve of these brilliantly imaginative, funny, and bold tales were published as Christmas Days: 12 Stories and 12 Feasts for 12 Days in 2018. She returns to the occasion this year, to read a story and talk about her work with Creative Manchester Director and poet, John McAuliffe.
The event is part of Creative Manchester’s ‘Solstice and Equinox’ series of events which brings innovative creative artists to The University of Manchester’s four Cultural Institutions. Each of our unique cultural institutions – the Whitworth, the John Rylands Research Institute and Library, Manchester Museum and Jodrell Bank Discovery Centre – focus on building civic, national and international partnerships to advance the social, environmental and individual wellbeing of our communities.
This merry evening takes place at 6pm on Thursday 5 December at John Rylands Research Institute and Library, Deansgate. Everyone is welcome.
