It’s a week of big names for the Fringe as more authors line up for the Wanstead Book Festival.
On Tuesday, leading philosopher and author Julian Baggini is speaking at the Churchill Room, discussing the role of philosophy in public life and specifically thinking about the impact of what we eat has on ourselves and the Earth.
On Wednesday Otto English returns to the Fringe to discuss with Victor Adebowale his book Fake Heroes – the things we thought we knew about some of the key figures in history.
On Thursday it’s Maria Callas night as Daisy Goodwin discusses her book Diva, a marvellous biographical novel which focuses on Callas being wooed relentlessly by Aristotle Onassis (it didn’t end happily).
On Friday, comedian and quizzer Paul Sinha discusses his autobiography Once Sinha Lifetime. (This has been sold out for some time.)
