🌀 Can you help us discover more about Beckett's past? 🌀

In 1961, Samuel Beckett spent two weeks in Folkestone to get married.

We are trying to find anyone that may know something about the secret wedding. Can you help?

Ode to Social Distancing (by James Parker in @TheAtlantic) "Lest this thing worsen
let’s agree to be separated by the length of a tall person.
No touch. We’ll communicate via voice and eyes and heart.
Stick together—six feet apart". Share your poems/odes by commenting below!

[University Bookshop @cccubookshop]

Yes! Welcome to #cccubookclub The first rule of #cccubookclub is you have to talk about it! Let’s share the books we’re reading, the authors who inspire us - it can be just a sentence, a picture, a link to a blog, a website, a review. It can be a novel, even a recommended text!

[Folkestone Book Fest @FstoneBookFest]

Superb in-depth article in @Slate
about how #Shakespeare survived the #plague and how it inspired his work, from #RomeoandJuliet to #Macbeth. Perhaps social isolation will inspire some further literary genius? Read the article here: https://t.co/NOewicXdso

@Avid_eva @guardian @Mark__Lawrence @ArcticNoir @YrsaSig Fantastic! We hope you are enjoying them!

[Folkestone Book Fest @FstoneBookFest]

Who says self-isolation/social distancing/quarantine needs to be boring? Great list of dystopian novels in @guardian to get stuck into over the coming weeks. Let us know what you're currently reading! 📚🤓 https://t.co/LzNFozJwZp
