Independent Booksellers Week: Literary Death Match

This haphazard gameshow-style literary event features four authors performing in front of three judges who select two finalists to compete in a comical grand finale. Each author has seven minutes or less to impress the audience and the judges. Authors Cary Bray ('A Song for Issy Bradley'), John Boyne ('The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas'), Nick Harkaway ('Tigerman') and one more soon-to-be-announced guest will battle it out to be crowned Death Match champion. The game will take place in Foyles' brand new building as part of Independent Bookseller's Week (Saturday June 28 to Saturday July 5). Tickets can be booked in store or by emailing events@foyles.co.uk.
