FLIP/FLUPP
Just returned from a brief trip to Brazil with Granta Magazine and the British Council.
Two extraordinary and contrasting events. FLIP - a literature festival in Paraty (said Par-a-chee) a few hours south of Rio; and FLUPP , in a police protected Favella in Rio.
On the back of the Granta 119: Britain issue, we were out to discuss ideas of national v. universal identity in writing, and to celebrate Granta's Best of Brazilian Young Novelists issue.
Here's a little more information.
I now have to finalise the work on the Mabinogion commission. Come August, I'm looking forward to some sleep.
