It's not every literary festival which unites around a single idea. Jewish Book Week is an exception. Not that every one of the 130 speakers who appear on the podium at the Royal National Hotel between 27 February and 7 March will necessarily be Jewish.
Guests include the controversialist Tariq Ali, Oxford professor of maths and freshly anointed OBE Marcus du Sautoy, historian Niall Ferguson, children's writer Anne Fine, novelists Will Self and Jonathan Safran Foer, the author of the sublime Everything Is Illuminated, writer and shrink Oliver James, Diana's divorce lawyer Anthony Julius, Albie Sachs and Jonathan Sacks, and the ennobled professor of fertility Robert Winston. Topics offered for discussion range from football and queer theory to the Jewish revival in Poland and peace in the Middle East. And much much more. Book online.
