Abstract
Brighton University, in conjunction with the Man Booker Foundation, runs an annual event in which all undergraduates receive a free copy of one novel that has been shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize over the previous five years. This novel is chosen by academic staff and debated in a variety of fora with students. In 2014 Kate Aughterson (Academic Programme Leader in Literature and Media at Brighton) interviewed Jim Crace about his novel Harvest as part of a programme of events on offer at Brighton to students and scholars. The interview took place at the Sallis Benney Theatre on 21 October 2014.
