Award-winning novelist and essayist Dara Horn explores why the world loves dead Jews – and not living ones. From the world’s ‘[second] favourite dead Jew’, Anne Frank and the ‘Frozen Jews’ of Harbin, to ‘dead American Jews’ and ‘blockbuster dead Jews’, Horn offers a searing investigation of modern-day antisemitism. The National Jewish Book Award winner joins live from the US for our first Live On-Screen Event at Kings Place, so you can enjoy the experience with other festival-goers, as well as being available online wherever you are.

BILLY WILDER: FROM VIENNA TO HOLLYWOOD,
SUN 3 OCT, 2.30PM BST
https://jewishbookweek.com/event/billy-wilder-from-vienna-to-hollywood/

With What a Carve Up author Jonathan Coe on the Kings Place stage and cinema historian Noah Isenberg joining live from the US, this is a suitably transatlantic discussion of Billy Wilder, one of Europe’s most important exports to Hollywood, the writer-director of classics including Some Like It Hot, Sunset Boulevard &The Apartment. After winning the Prix du Livre Européen for Middle England, Coe’s latest acclaimed novel Mr Wilder & Me focuses on one of his final films in the late 1970s, as well as flashbacks to the six-time Oscar-winner’s earlier life in Austria, which is the subject of Billy Wilder on Assignment: Dispatches from Weimar Berlin and Interwar Vienna edited by Isenberg. For the first time over 50 of Wilder’s articles from 1925-1930, covering topics as varied as the Prince of Wales, jazz, and his stint as a dance companion for hire at an exclusive Berlin hotel, are translated into English, alongside insightful commentary from the professor and chair of the University of Texas’
department of radio-television-film. An unmissable discussion of one of cinema’s most influential and best-loved figures, chaired by The Film Programme host Francine Stock. FIND OUT MORE & BOOK (https://jewishbookweek.com/event/billy-wilder-from-vienna-to-hollywood/)
