</font><font size=4>Dear All,<br><br>
Two of the interviewees from the Fifty Voices, Fifty Faces, oral history
of the University of Sussex will be in discussion with esteemed writers
at the annual Charleston Festival this summer (25 May-3 June).<br><br>
The first of these two major events takes place on Thursday 31 May, when
Sussex graduate and prize-winning writer Ian McEwan will be in
conversation with the distinguished historian, Lord (Asa) Briggs. Before
his academic career, which encompassed the Vice-Chancellorship of the
University of Sussex (1967-76), Lord Briggs was a cryptographer during
the Second World War. He worked at Bletchley Park alongside code-breaker
Alan Turing, deciphering messages from the German army’s Enigma machines.
Ian McEwan, who studied English at Sussex from 1967-70, has a
long-standing fascination with code-breaking and subterfuge. His play,
<i>The Imitation Game</i>, dramatises these interests.<br><br>
On Sunday 3 June, the University of Sussex Vice-Chancellor, Professor
Michael Farthing, will be chairing a discussion with biographer Claire
Tomalin. Her acclaimed study of the life and work of Charles Dickens was
published to mark the 200th anniversary this year of the novelist’s
birth. This is a wonderful opportunity to see a biographer who was so
important to feminist life writing.<br><br>
Tickets for both events cost £13. For more information and to book
