Kate Atkinson is a well known author from York who moved up to Scotland many years ago. She became well known in York for her book Behind the Scenes at the Museum, a story which follows a few generations of a family living in the centre of town and touches on how it feels like living in a museum when you live in York, but is more a tale about families and their quircks.
I’ve been to see Kate Atkinson myself a long time ago and she is well worth listening to. This event will be at York St John University De Grey Court Lecture Theatre on March 25th 2010 at 7.00 p.m, where she will be in conversation with Dr. Roger Clark of York St John University’s Literature Department, an old teacher of mine.
Tickets can be bought for £5.00 at York Theatre Royal box office on 01904 623568.
