Description

Zenith's Pessoa: An Experimental Life, a finalist for the 2022 Pulitzer Prize in Biography, was called "one of the great literary biographies of the century" by Simon Winchester. In conversation with Mark Sabine, Associate Professor of Portuguese Studies at the University of Nottingham, Zenith will discuss Pessoa's experiments in literature, politics, sexuality, and spirituality. He will talk as well about his method for drawing a portrait of the shy office worker lurking behind the many personae he called heteronyms. 

Tickets: £3.00 including refreshments.
