📖📚🎞Book Week Scotland returns to the Robert Burns Centre in November with local author Karl Drinkwater 🎞📚📖
Karl is an author of a sci-fi series and at the core of the whole series is the friendship between two women (often just talking to each other over a distance). Karl also did a creative writing session on the topic of friendship in March 2023. This evening's event will relate to Karl’s writing on friendship as this is covered in many of his stories, not just the sci-fi ones. Karl: "the best romances are ones where the leads are also obviously great friends, in turn with each other, challenging each other, pushing each other."
Karl chose 'Before Sunrise' for screening alongside his talk the first film in Richard Linklater’s Before Trilogy. In Before Sunrise Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Céline (Julie Delpy) meet on a Euro rail train and disembark in Vienna to spend the night together.
Tickets for the event are free with funding provided by Book Week Scotland.
