Intended to mark and celebrate Liverpool's 800th birthday in 2007 and its status as European City of Culture in 2008, this collection of essays and interviews addresses the wide range of writing that has emerged from Liverpool from the 1930s to the present day. It asks if there is a distinctive Liverpool voice, and if so, how it might be identified. Featuring interviews with Liverpool-born film director and novelist, Terence Davies, (Distant Voices, Still Lives, The Long Day Closes and The House of Mirth), Roger McGough, Willy Russell and Levi Tafari along with contributions from leading cultural critics such as former NME journalist and Mojo magazine founder Paul Du Noyer and award-winning poet George Szirtes, Liverpool Writing will be of interest to readers fascinated by the influences on and of the city dubbed 'the Centre of the Creative Universe'. 606 $aEnglish literature$zEngland$zLiverpool$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish literature$y21st century$xHistory and criticism 607 $aLiverpool (England)$xIn literature 607 $aLiverpool (England)$xIntellectual life$y20th century 607 $aLiverpool (England)$xIntellectual life$y21st century 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a820.9942753 702 $aMurphy$b Michael$f1965-2009, 702 $aRees-Jones$b Deryn 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782577503321 996 $aWriting Liverpool$93740362 997 $aUNINA
