Gurinder Chadha audio interview on BBC

Filed under: Uncategorized — Mags @ 8:28 pm

Kirsty writes to tell us that there is an audio interview with Gurinder Chadha on BBC4’s Front Row.

Chadha talks about how she has interpreted some of Austen’s themes in the book and transferred them across time and cultures. She also talks about the JA community’s reaction to the film and the screening in Bath. It was the first feature on tonight’s show, and lasted for just under 10 minutes.

Thanks for the link, Kirsty!

Antique Jane Austen books to be sold at silent auction in Fort Worth, Texas

Filed under: Jane in the News — Mags @ 12:14 pm

Heads up, Texas bibliophiles and collectors: the Friends of the Fort Worth Public Library are having their annual book sale starting October 1 through October 5. Among the items for sale at a silent auction are a “vintage 1800s boxed set of Jane Austen novels.”

The question puzzling the gang at AustenBlog World Headquarters today would be, “Who the heck donates this stuff?!?”
