Event Date: 
13th May 2008

In our Meet the Author events, we’ve hosted several big names – Jodi Picoult, Joanna Trollope, Salley Vickers, Alexander McCall Smith, Alice Sebold and Louis de Bernieres to date – but it was always our intention to bring new talent to Winchester. Which is why we have invited Stefan Merrill Block to be our next guest, his only event outside London.

Read on for:

• Details of the time/date/venue

• 3 of our reviewers’ thoughts on his debut novel The Story of Forgetting, which tackles a thought provoking theme - Alzheimer's - that potentially affects all our lives.

See also the cover story of the family supplement of The Guardian of Saturday, April 19th or Stefan's article on the Guardian website. There is also a Story of Forgetting animation on YouTube.
