Living, Thinking, Looking - an international conference on the writing of Siri Hustvedt

A writer of increasing cultural and critical significance, Siri Hustvedt has written six novels and a considerable body of non-fiction, including essays, academic papers, lectures and autobiographical works.

This conference will give undergraduates, postgraduates and academics the opportunity to examine Hustvedt’s unique contribution to contemporary literature.

We are particularly delighted that Siri Hustvedt will be in attendance throughout the day. She will also be speaking in the evening at a Birkbeck-hosted event as part of the Bloomsbury Festival.

Living, Thinking, Looking will take place on 23 October 2015 (9.30-7pm) in the Keynes Library at 43 Gordon Square, Birkbeck, London.

The conference is free to attend but registration is compulsory. Email hustvedtconference@gmail.com to reserve your place.
