Russell Brand: A Manifesto on Reading, Institute of Education

Manifesto on Reading
Expect an exuberant evening as Russell Brand ruminates on the subject of reading. From personal recollections of his own favourite childhood books to an analysis of the role of reading in a wifi-weary world, Brand will explore the ever-evolving status of raconteurs and readers. While he's world famous for being funny, and is sure to raise lots of laughs, don't dismiss Brand as just a loud-mouth comic; as those that saw him hold his own in parliament on the Drugs Debate will know, he's an eloquent and informed speaker. We're fascinated to find out what he has to say about the literary world . And, any adolescents that are apathetic about books are sure to be won over by Brand's enthusiasm and cool factor.
