Event details

The Candid Book Club teams up with Good Form for a afternoon of books, bold ideas and lively conversation at The London Library. Building on two well-loved earlier festivals, this edition opens a new chapter for the club.

The programme runs through three panels, each built around voices the organisers describe as diverse and timely:

  • New Voices in Literature

    An open conversation with Amy Abdelnoor, Eden McKenzie-Goddard and Fauzia Musa, hosted by Ela Lee.

  • Savour Every Word: The Stories We Consume

    Anna Sulan Masing, Liv Little and Ian Russell-Hsieh explore the larger stories behind what we eat, with Serena Coady as host.

  • Hidden Worlds and Untold Stories

    Catherine Cho and Wiz Wharton discuss stories that often go unheard and the worlds that exist beyond the page.

Suitable for both first-time visitors to the club and anyone who simply loves books and good discussion.
