A Blether and a Bevvy with Luca Serra
Luca Serra is a Scottish Book Trust New Writers Award awardee. This is Home is his first novel. Writing 'This Is Home' has been a journey of fond reflection. It has given me the opportunity to share the fascinating stories of people I've met since moving to the UK. It has also allowed me to explore questions: what is home? And what does it mean to belong?
This is Home is a constantly changing exploration of friendship, belonging and what it means to forge your place in the world far away from home.

Moby-Dick returns to Fife
Whale-watching in the Forth meets Herman Melville, the American author of Moby-Dick, whose Fife ancestry is becoming better known.
In association with the Aberdour Cultural Association we are pleased to present an evening of whale talk, music and discussion – where past, present and future whale-related activities link arts and sciences across Fife – with citizen scientist Ronnie Mackie, cultural historian and author Dr Tom Hubbard, and sculptor Kenny Munro
From Pictish carvings of dolphins and whales to contemporary artistic responses, we can see how creativity relates to concerns about our relationship with the marine environment.
In recent years, Kinghorn has become an international hub for whale-watching and this is inspiring many creative projects and inspiring a Public Art Literary Trail across Fife. Tonight’s panel will explore Fife’s international cultural connections, with a short film about Melville’s visit to Scotland in 1856, as well as an introduction to existing and planned projects, and the chance for audience members to suggest future initiatives.
