University of Lincoln students and staff have the chance to win a pair of tickets to see award-winning journalist and author Will Self in conversation at this October’s Lincoln Book Festival.
Will Self will make a guest author appearance in a book festival headline event sponsored by the University of Lincoln which will be held in the Stephen Langton Building on Thursday 14th October 2021, starting 6.30pm. He will be in conversation with Dr Guy Mankowski, programme leader for MA Creative Writing in Lincoln’s School of English and Journalism, discussing his latest book, Will – a powerful, funny memoir about past struggles with addiction.
Will Self is the author of many novels and books of non-fiction, including Great Apes, How the Dead Live, The Butt (winner of the Bollinger Everyman Prize for Comic Fiction), and Umbrella, which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize.
To enter the Lincoln Book Festival 2021 ticket competition, answer the following question:
What is the title of Will Self’s first published collection of short stories, which first appeared in paperback in 1991?
The winners will be chosen at random from entrants submitting the correct answer and will receive a pair of tickets to the event.
Send your answer to competitions@lincoln.ac.uk by 5pm on Wednesday 6th October with your contact information (email and phone number) for a chance to win. Winners will need to collect their prize from the Brayford Pool Campus prior to the event. Terms and conditions apply (see link).
