Alison MacLeod December 1, 2011

Edge Hill University's Creative Writing Department present an evening with short story writer and novelist Alison MacLeod at the Rose Theatre.

Tickets £4.00 all.

Alison MacLeod is a short story writer and novelist, based in Brighton. Her most recent collection, Fifteen Modern Tales of Attraction (Penguin) was named as one of the ‘Top 10 Books to Talk About in 2009' in association with the Guardian and World Book Day. According to Time Out, ‘Alison MacLeod's collection is a baker's dozen of excellence book-ended by brilliance... At the core of the "tale"' - and these are modern fables that unravel and decipher reality as much as create it - is a series of complex meditations on the idea of attraction...‘   Her first two novels are The Changeling (Macmillan 1996) and The Wave Theory of Angels (Hamish Hamilton/Penguin, 2005); a third novel will be published by Hamish Hamilton in 2012. Alison MacLeod is Professor of Contemporary Fiction at the University of Chichester.  Find out more about her on www.alison-macleod.com
