Dyslexia at a literary festival
- 3 Jun 05, 12:00 AM
The small Welsh town of Hay-On-Wye is currently playing host to the annual Hay Festival of literature. According to The Guardian, one session that has caused a huge stir amongst the literary types was all about dyslexia. It seems that attitudes to dyslexia, however, still have some way to go, as the piece describes "academic peers [who] fell around laughing" when they learned that Vicki Goodwin was not only writing a book about the subject, but also going to the heart of one of the world's foremost book luvvie festivals to talk about it.
