TOWN FESTIVAL: The Book of Bradford with Comma Press

Join indie publisher Comma Press at The Book Corner to celebrate The Book of Bradford, the latest in Comma's Reading the City series. David Barnett will be hosting the event and he will be joined by M.Y. Alam and Lesley McEvoy.

A city built on proud northern values, but one which also boasts one of the UK’s youngest and most diverse populations, Bradford is nothing if not a place of immense contrasts. Bringing together fiction from some of the city's most celebrated writers, this anthology reflects this intriguing juxtaposition, celebrating the city’s infinite potential while robustly challenging the sometimes unwelcome stereotypes. During this event, you'll hear readings from The Book of Bradford, followed by a discussion with the authors and the chance to ask your own questions.

Comma Press is a Manchester-based independent publisher, initially founded to redress the dearth of short-story publishing opportunities in the UK. Comma has built an international reputation for excellent and ground-breaking commissioning. Comma has published two subsequent Nobel Prize winners; it has sold rights to its titles into over 30 languages, seen over 60 stories broadcast on BBC Radio 4 and had two stories adapted for the big screen.
