SUMMARY:Town Hall Artisans\, Trades and Treasures Display
DESCRIPTION:Find out more about what’s happening to The Town Hall behind all that scaffolding and building wrap. \n\n\nThis display celebrates progress on our Town Hall’s restoration\, showing some of the objects and discoveries uncovered so far\, with a focus on some of the trades that are bringing twenty-first century conservation skills to the Victorian objects on display. \n\n\nSo\, you can see a freshly restored oil painting of Manchester’s radical Mayor Abel Heywood\, and some of the conservation materials used to repair the canvas and removed built-up dust and particulates. \n\n\nMosaic tesserae originally laid by Venetian craftsmen in the 1870s are on display with some of the tools of the trade being used by today’s artisans to renew them. \n\n\nBeautiful stained and clear glass from the Town Hall’s ornate windows is also on show\, as are bells and ropes and other gear from the building’s clock tower. \n\n\nYou’ll find these interesting displays on the first floor\, to the left of the entrance to the Wolfson Reading Room until Saturday 29 June. \nFree – please drop in

SUMMARY:Percival Everett in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Manchester Literature Festival \n‘With my pencil\, I wrote myself into being.’ \nIn James\, Percival Everett’s thrilling retelling of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn\, the enslaved Jim is allowed to tell his story for the first time. While journeying down the Mississippi with Huck\, Jim has a series of adventures and encounters. Often terrifying but hilariously recounted\, they highlight the absurdity of white superiority and the ways in which Jim has been forced to hide his true intellect and abilities. In Hernan Diaz’s words\, James is a ‘canon-shatteringly great book’. \nDescribed by The Washington Post as ‘One of the most inimitable and distinct voices in contemporary American fiction’\, Percival is the author of over thirty books. The Trees was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and won the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize. Erasure has been adapted into the Oscar-nominated film American Fiction starring Jeffrey Wright. \nPresented in partnership with LibraryLive\, the Centre for New Writing\, Creative Manchester and Blackwell’s.
