Talk: William Boyd and Marc Dugain on Literature

14 April 2010.
Internationally-acclaimed novelist William Boyd (writer of A Good Man in Africa, An Ice Cream War Brazzaville Beach, Any Human Heart) has been translated into over thirty languages. He is also the author of a collection of screenplays, memoirs and non-fiction writings.
French novelist Marc Dugain wrote 'La Chambre des officiers', inspired by the story of his grandfather. The book sold millions of copies, and was adapted to film. Dugain's novels and short stories (Campagne anglaise, Heureux comme Dieu en France, La Malédiction d'Edgar, Une exécution ordinaire), have since been very successful.
Both of these great writers discussed literature in all its forms.
