The event is also open to the general public, in an evening that celebrates fine writing and memorable storytelling. Light refreshments will be served after the Reading and during the book signing. Jim Crace is one of the most garlanded novelists writing in Britain today. He has won, among other awards, the James Tait Black Memorial Prize (twice), the Whitbread Award, the Guardian Fiction Prize and the National Book Critics’ Circle Award. He was also shortlisted for the Booker Prize for his most recent novel, Harvest (2013), for which he won the prestigious Windham-Campbell Prize for Fiction, awarded by Yale University, in 2014. Among his most celebrated novels are Continent (1986), The Gift of Stones (1988), Quarantine (1997), Being Dead (1999), The Pesthouse (2007) and Harvest (2013). Jim Crace has been Visiting Professor of Creative Writing at a number of higher education institutions in the UK and the US, among them the University of Iowa (well-known for its distinguished Creative Writing courses), the University of Central England and, currently, the University of Austin, Texas. His work has been regularly acclaimed by literary critics and by reviewers, but he is recognised also as ‘a writer’s writer’, commanding extensive respect from other authors who value the purity, precision and poetry of his writing. His work enjoys a loyal readership drawn to the particular quality of his fiction, where bleakness and redemption, landscape and character blend in memorable stories that live long in the imagination. um.edu.mt/newsoncampus/features#item_229467
