JEWISH BOOK FESTIVAL AND BOOK FAIR

Sat 18th Feb - Sun 26th Feb 2012

Boyd Tonkin, literary editor of The Independent, called Jewish Book Week ‘the capital’s richest annual banquet of writers and ideas’. In 2012 the festival celebrates its 60th anniversary at its new home at Kings Place. Over the years, JBW has presented an array of remarkable speakers from diverse backgrounds, from Monica Ali, Yehuda Amichai, Martin Amis, Christopher Hitchens, Eric Hobsbawm, Julia Kristeva and Amos Oz to Harold Pinter, Chaim Potok, Mordechai Richler, Salman Rushdie, George Steiner and Arnold Wesker… A forum for enlightened and intelligent discussion, the festival eschews unfruitful confrontations yet is not afraid to address thorny issues. Most importantly, there’s no need to be Jewish to speak, attend or enjoy Jewish Book Week.

New titles including The Prague Cemetery by Umberto Eco, Hope: A Tragedy by Shalom Auslander and The Patagonian Hare by Claude Lanzmann, to be launched during Jewish Book Week, will be available from the Book Fair on the Gallery Level at Kings Place Gallery. The Book Fair also offers a wide choice of books by other authors on a wide range of subjects relating to the Jewish experience.   

Opening Times:
Monday - Friday 10 am - 6 pm
Saturday - Sunday 12 am - 6 pm

Admission free
