This year we asked Bath Chronicle readers to volunteer to join editor Sam Holliday in reviewing some of the events at the Bath Literature Festival. Here is what they had to say about the events that took place during the first few days of the festival Andrea Levy Andrea Levy brought the richness of her Caribbean heritage to the city that regards Jane Austen as one of its most celebrated residents. Austen barely acknowledged slavery's existence, but the unheard voices of Jamaican slaves are the ones Levy asks us to listen to in her Man Booker shortlisted novel The Long Song.
She spoke of her ancestors and how she created her characters from filling in the gaps between historical descriptions of negroes by white plantation owners and their wives.

I am not an enthusiastic traveller. Abroad means dodgy lavatories and pillows dribbled on by other people. It means taxi drivers in string vests and baby-faced policemen with guns. It's hard work, and it's sweaty and uncomfortable. It is a mystery to me that I appear to have spent rather a lot of my life living on foreign shores. When the world is full of people longing to explore the most revolting corners of the Earth, why am I the one who has ended up farflung and faint-hearted in some foreign field? Many years ago, in a moment of absentminded self-indulgence, I married a diplomat called Charlie. I still haven't made up my mind whether this was a good move or not. I turned from a happy, stay-at-home children's book illustrator into a chaotic nomad. My brain seems to be permanently lo...

Growing world energy demand, the insecurity of long-term supply and the consequences of fossil fuel use for climate change are driving governments to look for alternatives. Rachel Smolker, a biofuels specialist and research biologist for the US-based environmental group the Global Justice Ecology Project, fears the global rush to switch from oil to energy derived from plants will drive deforestation, push small farmers off the land and lead to serious food shortages and increased poverty unless carefully managed.
