Richard King will be returning to the festival to discuss his incredible new book Travels Over Feeling: Arthur Russell a Life published earlier this year by Faber.  It is the result of extensive research that saw Richard curating the ephemera and documentation found in both Arthur’s and other private archives, and consists of hand-written scores, lyrics, photos, letters and drawings. Throughout, King has conducted wide-ranging original interviews with Arthur’s collaborators, contemporaries, family and friends. The resulting book reveals a true picture of one of the most distinctive artists of the last fifty years.  RICHARD KING is the author of Original Rockers (shortlisted for the Gordon Burn Prize and a Rough Trade, Times and Uncut Book of the Year),How Soon Is Now? (a Sunday Times Music Book of the Year), The Lark Ascending (a Rough Trade, MOJO and Evening Standard Book of the Year, shortlisted for the Penderyn Prize) and, most recently, Brittle with Relics, all published by Faber& Faber. He is the current Royal Literary Fund Fellow at Cardiff University School of Journalism, Media & Culture.
