Jackie Kay revealed her list of 10 BAED writers for the International Literature Showcase at the Cheltenham Literature Festival earlier this month. This recording of the event has Jackie in conversation with three of her selected writers: Eric Ngalle Charles, Zaffar Kunial and Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi.
The International Literature Showcase is a partnership project presented by us and British Council, with support from Arts Council England and Creative Scotland. Find out more!
Apologies for the audio quality of this episode – hopefully the quality of the discussion more than makes up for it!
Hosted by Simon Jones and Steph McKenna.
