Those of you who missed the opening event of our autumn season – with deaf short story writer Louise Stern, the author of Chattering (Granta) - can catch up with Louise and her sign language interpreter Oliver Pouliot at the Wigton Book Festival on Saturday, 24 September. We wish Louise and Oliver all the best for what is sure to be another excellent event.

Louise Stern
