David Fickling Lecture with Marina Warner

Stories on the Move: Suffering, Sanctuary, Danger Marina Warner is a writer of fiction, criticism and history; her works include novels and short stories as well as studies of art, myths, symbols and fairytales. Marina asks, “Can myths, legends, and stories provide alternative shelter? Can literature offer sanctuary in times of dislocation and loss? A place where a refugee, a migrant, or a wanderer might feel at home? In today’s geopolitical upheavals, when millions of people are on the move, how do narratives travel between cultures and languages?” In partnership with Newcastle University.
