City Stories: Malcolm Fraser and Zoë Strachan

City Stories brings together the award-winning Scottish Architect of the Year Malcolm Fraser, and the much-acclaimed Glasgow author Zoë Strachan, to choose and discuss their favourite writings about cities. Malcolm Fraser’s buildings, which include the Scottish Poetry Library, Dance Base, and the newly opened Scottish Storytelling Centre, have had a profound impact on Edinburgh’s townscape and its artistic community. Zoë Strachan’s award-winning novels Negative Space and Spin Cycle have won her much attention as a new writer, and are set mostly in Glasgow. The two speakers will choose some of their favourite writing about European cities, and discuss how cities influence them in their work.
