Every Day is Literary

Literature fans are spoilt for choice this week. You could have gone and seen Carol Ann Duffy and Friends at the Royal Exchange on Monday; or last night gone to an Ambit magazine launch at the Anthony Burgess Foundation. Tonight, there's Bad Language at the Castle, and tomorrow a choice - or a double header - August Kleinzhaler at Burgess, and as part fo the Chorlton Arts Festival, a Flash fiction event at Dulcimer. I missed the exciting sounding Station Stories last weekend, as had other things on, but heard Nick Royle's story, "The Royal Fusilier", a pitch perfect piece of gritty northern sentiment, at the Ambit launch.
