Conversation with Sophie Hannah (United Kingdom)
One of the greatest pleasures for a reader is the opportunity to follow their favorite literary character in new adventures, to turn the pages of a new book with them, and eagerly await the next installment in the series. What happens when the author stops writing, when the series of books comes to an dead end and the reader is thirsty for more? Is it fair for the character to remain trapped in what remains written? And how does the author, tasked with stepping into "their shoes," continue forward?
Get up close and personal with what it's like to step into Agatha Christie's shoes and continue the book series about one of the most famous fictional detectives of all time, Hercule Poirot. The conversation with the best-selling author of the "Sunday Times" and "New York Times" is surely the literary event of the year, because Sophie Hannah comes to Skopje at a time when she is extremely busy and refuses all international visits.
The event will be moderated by Jordan Kocevski and Ande Jankov.
