Helen Dunmore<br />
interviewed by Jem Poster<br />
Counting the Stars<br />
333<br />
2pm / Mckenna Room, Christ Church / £7.50<br />
Set in Rome under the rule of Caesar during one<br />
white hot summer, Counting the Stars is the love<br />
story that binds the poet Catullus to his older<br />
married mistress, Clodia.<br />
Living at the heart of sophisticated, brittle and brutal<br />
Roman society at the time of Pompey, Catullus<br />
is obsessed with Clodia, the Lesbia of his most<br />
passionate poems. Their Rome is a city of extremes,<br />
and their relationship one of the most intense,<br />
passionate, tormented and candid in history. In<br />
love and in hate, their story exposes the beauty and<br />
terrors of Roman life in the late Republic. Helen<br />
Dunmore talks to poet and novelist Jem Poster.<br />
2pm / Newman Rooms, St Aldates / £7.50<br />
Thirty years ago Margaret Thatcher became the Western<br />
world’s first female leader, but what are the obstacles<br />
to the election of the UK’s first non-white Prime Minister<br />
Does the UK have more limited social mobility than<br />
the US, where African Americans are more powerful<br />
and influential, or is racism a more fundamental force<br />
in the UK These and other questions will be addressed<br />
by Vemon Bogdanor, Professor of Government at<br />
Oxford University and one of Britain’s foremost<br />
constitutional experts, Kenan Malik, broadcaster and<br />
author of Strange Fruit: Why Both Sides are Wrong<br />
in the Race Debate, and Ziauddin Sardar, cultural<br />
critic and author of Will America Change Chaired<br />
by Jenny Cuffe, BBC journalist for Radio 4 and the<br />
World Service.<br />
