Upcoming Talks at the Italian Cultural Institute

I've just received the following press release about a series of talks at the Italian Cultural Institute which will involve several crime writers:

“IN CONVERSAZIONE”
AN INNOVATIVE SERIES OF LITERARY TALKS
AT THE ITALIAN CULTURAL INSTITUTE

The series, curated by Maxim Jakubowski, will feature 8 leading English-speaking writers in conversation, discussing why they so often write about Italy, Italians and Italian Culture.

The warm love affair between British & American and Italian literature and culture is a treasured relationship that goes back several centuries, and this will prove an invaluable occasion to examine its contemporary relevance and examples as writers like Sarah Dunant, Iain Pears, Michelle Lovric, Lindsey Davis, David Hewson, Donna Leon, Tobias Jones, and Maxim Jakubowski will appear in conversation with critic Barry Forshaw, author Lauren Henderson and Maxim Jakubowski to discuss their appreciation of all things Italian.

Expect revelations, surprises and intimate confessions!
