Author Tours: Joanna Kavenna, Duncan Minshull and Irenosen Okojie on Where My Feet Fall  

Friday 11th November, 7.30pm - The Edge Of The World Bookshop, Penzance

£8 



In Where My Feet Fall, editor and erstwhile radio story specialist, Duncan Minshull has commissioned a series of essays in which writers explore the part walking plays in their working lives and the rhythm of their days, whether in pursuit of health, inspiration or for research. Sadly we couldn’t bring the full incredible array of talent he has brought together to Cornwall but we have secured both Duncan and two wonderfully contrasting contributors. Recently awarded an MBE for services to literature, Irenosen Okojie is a Nigerian-born short story and novel writer working in London. Her stories incorporate magic realism and also make use of her West African heritage. Her first novel, Butterfly Fish won a Betty Trask Award in 2016, and her story Grace Jones won the 2020 Caine Prize for African Writing. Joanna Kavenna grew up in Britain, of Welsh heritage, and has also lived in the US, France, Germany, China, Sri Lanka, Scandinavia, Italy and the Baltic states. She is the author of several critically acclaimed works of fiction and nonfiction, including The Ice Museum, Inglorious, Come to the Edge, A Field Guide to Reality and – most recently - Zed. Her novel Inglorious won the Orange Award for New Writing, and her novel The Birth of Love was longlisted for the Orange Prize. Irenosen and Joanna will be in conversation with Duncan Minshull quite possibly after taking a walk together.
