Blogs, Pepys and Me, Me, Me
Anyone who happens to find themselves in Cambridge and at a loose end on Saturday 17th is welcome to a public discussion I'm chairing on blogs, diaries, Pepys, Big Brother and so forth -- the exaltation of the self and who the hell do they (we?) think we're writing for?
5:15 pm in Benson Hall at Magdalene College. Speakers to include the ever-glamorous Rowan Pelling, who is NOT Belle du Jour no matter what anyone says; the distinguished and witty Laurie Taylor; blogger extraordinaire Tim Worstall (also, curiously, the world's leading scandium dealer); and me. Drinks by courtesy of Magdalene and the Year In Literature festival sponsors. It'll be a blast.
