lit event at kloostri ait
The British Council’s next literature event takes place in Tallinn at Kloostri Ait on 22 March at 6:00 p.m.
Our visitor at the Literary Cafe will be John McRae, who invites us to think about the boundaries of standard English.
As modern writing moves away from the “centre” (wherever that was!) we find that English is no longer the single language it was thought to be. We will ask was it ever that one language? Is there any such thing as English? And who are the writers who are taking Englishes forward, breaking down the barriers of standard English today?
Not too many events like this around Tallinn, so I expect I’ll go…
