“IS THERE SUCH A THING AS A TRUE STORY?”

February 7 @ 11:30 am - 1:00 pm

Free

Concept note: What is truth? From Pontius Pilate to fake news, people have grappled with this question for millennia. In the English-speaking world, the book industry often implies the answer is easy, dividing everything neatly into ‘fiction’ and ‘non-fiction’. But is it really as simple as that? Looking at a series of extracts from texts around the world with differing approaches to the issue of truth, this ninety-minute workshop will explore whether there ever can be such a thing as a true story.

 

Testimonials: ‘Ann’s playful and expert guidance turned the pieces we read into mirrors, showing our own assumptions and biases when encountering unfamiliar work or worlds, and then freed us simply to wander and wonder through them. I thoroughly recommend the workshop for anyone interested in stories and words.’

 

‘Ann flips the ‘rules’ of literary analysis and encourages us to embrace what we do not know, to let go of everything familiar and remake our understanding of the world. Fun, lively and thought-provoking, her workshops encourage us not just to learn more about the world, but also about how we relate to it.’
