Books festival of the week: The Independent Bath Literature Festival, various venues
Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
The Bath festival, sponsored by The Independent, continues today, with more than 150 talks, debates and readings still to come over the next nine days.
The main sections include explorations of the state of Europe immediately before the First World War, and examinations of injustice in its many guises.
Among the highlights are novelists Hilary Mantel, JK Rowling, PD James, Rachel Joyce, Pat Barker and Elif Shafak, while on the non-fiction roster are Harriet Walter, Darcey Bussell, Clive Stafford Smith, Jane Dunn, Paula Byrne, Polly Toynbee, Owen Jones, John Gray and Christopher Clark.
