SUMMARY:Yuan Yang
DESCRIPTION:UNFORTUNATELY\, THIS EVENT IS NOW CANCELLED \nYuan Yang is no longer able to travel to Manchester due to her new parliamentary commitments and constituency obligations and is very sorry to miss the opportunity to meet our audience. \nQuaytickets will be in touch with all existing ticket holders to offer a refund. \nIn Private Revolutions: Coming of Age in a New China\, British-Chinese journalist Yuan Yang tells the fascinating story of modern China through the lives of four ordinary women. Leiya\, born in a patriarchal rural village\, bluffs her way onto the factory floor; June sets herself a goal to attend university rather than raise pigs; Siyue rebels against her teachers and then remakes the education system for others\, and Sam becomes an activist while her peers are disappearing from the streets. \nYuan Yang was born in China and returned there as an adult as a correspondent for the Financial Times. After the mass expulsion of journalists from China in 2020\, she was one of the few journalists writing in English left in the country. She now lives in London and is the Labour MP for Earley and Woodley. Presented by Manchester Literature Festival and supported by Library Live. \nImage credit: Inigo Blake \nTickets: ‘Book Now’ below\, visit the MLF website or phone 0161 876 2015

SUMMARY:Asako Yuzuki
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE THIS EVENT HAS CHANGED VENUE FROM WATERSTONES DEANSGATE TO CENTRAL LIBRARY \n\n‘There are two things that I can simply not tolerate: feminists and margarine.’ \nA Japanese bestseller\, Butter is the story of gourmet cook and serial killer Manako Kajii. Convicted of seducing lonely businessmen with her cooking and killing them for their money\, Manako is incarcerated in Tokyo Detention Centre\, refusing visitors. That is until journalist Rika Machida writes to her asking for her beef stew recipe and Manako can’t resist. Rika thinks she’s about to get the biggest scoop of her career but when she begins taking Manako’s cooking advice it seems Rika’s life is about to change in ways she never expected. Funny\, feminist and absolutely mouthwatering\, Butter is inspired by the real-life case of ‘The Konkatsu Killer’. \nAsako Yuzuki is a novelist and short story writer. Her story ‘Forget Me\, Not Blue’ won the All Yomimono Award for New Writers. Her novel Nile Perch Women’s Club won the Yamamoto Shūgorō Prize. Several of her books (including Butter) have been nominated for the Naoki Prize and many have been adapted for radio\, film and television. \nHosted by Caroline Magennis\, Associate Professor in Contemporary Literature at the University of Salford and author of Harpy: A Manifesto for Childfree Women. Presented in partnership with The Japan Foundation and 4th Estate. \nSupported by Library Live \nBook tickets: 0161 876 2015\, ‘Book Now’ below or MLF website
