Manchester Literature Festival Preview Event: Martin Amis and Will Self debate Literature and Sex

Leading author Martin Amis will host another public event at The University of Manchester on Monday 12th October 2009.

The debate, on Literature and Sex, will also feature Will Self and is hosted by The Centre for New Writing where Amis is Professor.

Martin Amis will be joined by novelist Will Self for a discussion of literature's perennial preoccupation with representing and understanding sex and sexuality.

It will also include a Q and A session, allowing members of the public to put their questions and opinions to the panel.

Taking place in The Cosmo Rodewald Concert Hall at The Martin Harris Centre for Music and Drama at 6.30pm, the event is in a series of high-profile public events featuring Amis and other leading writers and commentators discussing key issues in contemporary literature.

The events complement the Centre's regular 'Literature Live' reading series, which brings the best-known contemporary novelists and poets to Manchester to discuss and read from their work.

Tickets cost £5 (£3 concessions) and are available from the University's box office on 0161 275 8951 or boxoffice@manchester.ac.uk, or via www.quaytickets.com.
