Event Description
Introduction to guest speaker:
Michael Perfect is a Senior Lecturer in English Literature at Liverpool John Moores University. His main research and teaching interests are in twentieth- and twenty-first-century literature and culture, and he has published widely within this field. His publications on Andrea Levy include numerous journal articles and book chapters, and he has taught Levy's work at universities in the UK and overseas. He is currently writing a book on Levy for Manchester University Press. He is also co-editing a forthcoming Levy-themed special issue of the journal ARIEL, which will include posthumous work by Levy herself. His own article in that special issue focuses on Levy's late, unpublished projects. He was the first academic to carry out research on Levy's archive, and his ongoing work on the archive is supported by a BA/Leverhulme research grant.
In this event, Abbie - Community and Events Manager- will speak to Michael about October's Book of the Month 'Small Island' and explore Levy's legacy as one of Britain’s most significant contemporary writers.

Your camera and microphone does not need to be on for you to enjoy the event. The choice about whether to do this is completely yours.
How do I watch the live event?

How do I sign-up for and access the recording? (Recorded events only)
