Event overview
The six writers shortlisted for the inaugural Goldsmiths Prize reading from and discussing their novels.
Professor Blake Morrison, Director of the Goldsmiths Writers' Centre, will introduce readings from Jim Crace, Lars Iyer, Eimear McBride, David Peace, Ali Smith and Philip Terry.
The 123 novels entered for the Goldsmiths Prize 2013 have been reduced to a shortlist of six boldly original works of fiction. From Jim Crace’s enigmatic fable of modernity’s bitter harvest, through Lars Iyer’s serio-comic treatment of the end of philosophy, Eimear McBride’s extraordinarily intense account of family trauma, David Peace’s remarkable imagining of Bill Shankly’s years at Liverpool FC, and Ali Smith’s invention of a form which blends fiction, essay and lecture, to Philip Terry’s linguistically rich narratives drawn from the margins of the Bayeux Tapestry, all of the shortlisted novels embody the creative daring and exuberant inventiveness which the Goldsmiths Prize was created to showcase and reward.
