About this Event:

Novelist and poet Kapka Kassabova has long been captivated by the tango. To tango fanatics, it is more than a dance – it is a way of life. Kassabova talks to literary journalist and broadcaster David Freeman about her life and how the tango has run through it. She describes the tango as ‘the international anthem of the existentially, romantically and culturally sick’. Tango music will be woven into the discussion.
Kassabova, who now lives in Scotland, grew up in Bulgaria and has variously lived in New Zealand, Marseilles and Berlin. Her latest work is a memoir Twelve Minutes of Love, A Tango Story. She has also written poetry and novels including the recently published Villa Pacifica.
