What happens when words and ideas travel between languages? Never having met, Iban Zaldua and James Robertson spent six months exchanging letters in their native languages: Scots and Basque. They offer an intimate reflection on Europe, identity and literature, published in a new book. Join the acclaimed writers as they share the experience of getting to know each other through writing and responding to each other’s carefully crafted and thought-provoking missives.

Chaired by Magnus Linklater. Part of Scotland Goes Basque 2019.

Tickets are £12/£10 conc, and are available from the EIBF event page here.
