We all know Brazilians are mad about football, and that they have great beaches and musicians and Carnival. But who are the great Brazilian writers, novelists, poets? And why do we know so little about them in the UK?  These and other questions are the subject of Liz Calder’s talk. For the past 40 years Liz has been publishing fiction, and for the past 15 years she has been involved in FLIP, Brazil’s pioneering literary festival, held in Paraty, a small fishing town hundreds of miles from the big cities of Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. FLIP was the first international literary festival held in all of South America, and it has taken Brazil’s cultural world by storm, with thousands of visitors descending on the place every year. And while before Brazil’s literary riches were largely unknown to the rest of the world, the names of some of its stars – Machado de Assis, Clarice Lispector, Milton Hatoum, Patricia Melo, Chico Buarque, Rubem Fonseca – are becoming better known internationally.
