Now in its ninth year, the festival continues to have partnerships very much at its core. This year we are thrilled to be working with Hotel du Vin, Cannizaro House where we will be hosting events including a special evening with Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman. We have also partnered with The Wimbledon Foundation on a photographic project celebrating the diversity of Merton’s ‘Millennials’. With Harper Lee very much back in the news we’re also delighted to be screening the classic movie To Kill a Mockingbird and for the first time to be hosting the shortlisted entries for the Wimbledon International Short Film Festival. We thank all our partners, supporters, sponsors, volunteers and all those who attend the BookFest. It wouldn’t happen without you and we do hope you enjoy this year’s programme. We look forward to welcoming you in October for ten magical days on Wimbledon Common! Fiona Razvi (Festival Director) The Festival continues to have a succession of high profile authors and we are also keen to develop and nurture local talent. Projects such as The Short Story Competition and our film programme, both run with the University of Roehampton are a continuing success. We look forward to expanding this area of the Festival.

In Another Person’s Skin Adaptations of To Kill a Mockingbird and the Characterization of Scout Finch The history of racism and intolerance in America permeates its literary canon, with works such as Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin (1852), Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), and Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man (1952), functioning as seminal pieces that not only engage with that history, but also capture white attitudes towards black people at each time of publication. In one of the most celebrated works within the canon, To Kill a Mockingbird (1960), Harper Lee constructs a character whose feistiness, youthful innocence, and tomboyish charm helps her readers understand the injustices towards black people in the southern United States, as well as what it means to grow up more generally.

It became one of the biggest best-sellers of all time and she became a mystery. Hey Boo: Harper Lee & To Kill a Mockingbird explores the history and impact of the novel and offers an unprecedented look at the life of the novelist. Fifty years after its publication, To Kill a Mockingbird is required reading in most American classrooms and still sells nearly a million copies a year. Hey, Boo: Harper Lee & To Kill a Mockingbird chronicles how this beloved novel came to be written, provides the context and history of the Deep South where it is set, and documents the many ways the novel has changed minds and shaped history. For teachers, students or fans of the classic, Hey, Boo enhances the experience of reading To Kill a Mockingbird. Hey, Boo features insightful interviews with Oprah Winfrey, Tom Brokaw, Pulitzer Prize-winning authors Rick Bragg, Anna Quindlen, and Richard Russo, historians Jon Meacham and Diane McWhorter and civil rights leader Andrew Young addressing the novel’s impact on their lives, careers and country. Lee’s friends and family speak on the record, sharing intimate recollections, anecdotes, and biographical details for the first time, offering new insight into the life and mind of Harper Lee, who stopped speaking to the press in 1964.

This track is the beginning of an album of songs whose great hooks belie their rich narrative content. It is surely among Hayman‟s most catchy batches of songs and that‟s saying something. The electric blue-grass band he has assembled gives this record a fuller sound than his last outing with the appropriately named solo project Table For One. Occasional use of horns, uplifting saxophone here, delicate trumpet there, and the presence of guitars now fully back since the electronic experiments of Dead Media and Local Information all up the power but don‟t deaden the wit.

  • The Architecture of Popular Songs
    Songwriters and song lyrics: architecture, ambiguity and repetition Keith Negus and Pete Astor Pete Astor, Department of Music, University of Westminster, Regent Street, London, W1B 2HW Keith Negus, Department of Music, Goldsmiths, University of London, New Cross, London, SE14 6NW Main contact: [email protected] Abstract This article argues for understanding popular songs and songwriting through the metaphor of architecture, an idea we draw from vernacular terms used by songwriters when comprehending and explaining their own creative practice, and which we deploy in response to those who have called for writing about music to use a non-technical vocabulary and make greater use of metaphor. By architecture we mean those recognisable characteristics of songs that exist as enduring qualities regardless of a specific performance, recording or sheet music score. We use this analogy not as a systematic model, but as a device for exploring the intricate ways that words and music are combined and pointing to similarities in the composition of poetry and writing of song lyrics. The art of repetition and play with ambiguity are integral to popular song architectures that endure regardless of the modifications introduced by performers who temporarily inhabit a particular song. *** In this article we argue for an architectural approach to the popular song, a perspective that treats songwriters as architects rather than romantically inspired expressive artists. Our approach implies that listeners are indeed dancing (and thinking) about architecture when responding to popular songs, and it is an awareness of this that informs the practices of songwriters.1 By architecture we mean those recognisable characteristics of songs that exist as enduring qualities regardless of a particular performance, recording or version.
