Ann Morgan

Folkestone-based Ann Morgan’s work focuses on international storytelling and the way literature travels. In 2012, she set herself the challenge of reading a book from every country. Reading the World has since become a lifelong venture that sees Ann - the first literary explorer-in-residence of the Cheltenham Literature Festival - engaging with writers, translators and book lovers around the globe. In a thrilling, border-jumping conversation with fellow international literature aficionado Rosie Goldsmith, she’ll discuss armchair travel in the broadest sense, and how embracing not-knowing became a revelation in her reading, leading her to develop incomprehension workshops for curious readers and laying the foundation for her forthcoming book Relearning to Read: Adventures in Not-Knowing. Her other work includes the internationally bestselling novels Beside Myself and Crossing Over.
