David Crystal - on the perils of being a linguist

As part of the Swindon Festival of Literature.

To coincide with the publication of his autobiography, Just a Phrase I’m Going Through, linguist David Crystal casts a humorous eye over a career of delightful and often dangerous encounters with, among others, belly-dancers, red-light low life, bribery, kidnapping, revolution, and murder.

 

Doors: 12.30pm
