Louis de Berniéres was born in London in
1954. In 1993 he was selected as one of the 20 Best
of Young British Novelists and, the following year,
his fourth novel Captain Corelli’s Mandolin,
was shortlisted for the Sunday Express Book of the
Year. This novel has been translated into 18 languages
and the film is due for general release on May 11.
In 1995, de Bernieres was awarded the Lannan Literary
Award for fiction, which is given to a number of
authors every year to recognise writers of fiction,
poetry and non-fiction whose work is of exceptional
quality. Louis will read a selection of his work,
including new prose fiction and talk about his writing
life.
‘de Bernieres launches us on an epic love story
that is positively Odyssean in terms of honour and
virtue…a vivid and ambitious canvas’.
