Liz Calder, former editorial director of London publisher Bloomsbury, is launching a UK version of Festa Literaria Internacional de Paraty (FLIP), the Brazil-based literary and cultural festival she co-founded with her husband, former Bookseller editor, Louis Baum, which they have tun for the past ten years.
The UK version to be called FLIPSIDE will take place 4th - 6rh October, 2013 and be held at the arts and concert venue at Snape Maltings, Aldeburgh, Suffolk.
The programme, which is still in the planning stages, will be announced in May. It will feature a number of Brazilian writers, artists and musicians alongside UK-based authors and will include a tribute to the poet and lyricist Vinicius de Moraes and composer Antonio Carlos Jobim who together created Bossa Nova.
