\n\t\u201cCurating the line up for the London Literature Festival with my Service95 Book Club has been a true joy and I\u2019m so proud of the program we have created,\u201d Dua Lipa said in a statement. \u201cWe\u2019ll be joined by icons as well as emerging voices from across the arts the world needs to know. You will recognize some as friends of the book club, and others may be your first introduction, but ultimately, I wanted to create a space that brings together some of the most exciting writers, poets and thinkers from around the globe. I\u2019m looking forward to being both in conversation and taking my seat in the audience at this iconic venue.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDua will be in conversation with a number of authors and musicians during the event. On Oct. 24, She will speak with British author Zadie Smith about her award-winning 2000 debut novel, White Teeth<\/em>, alongside separate discussions with Sudanese-Canadian poet Mustafa (Oct. 24) and punk-rock icon and author Patti Smith (Oct. 25).<\/p>\n

\n\tElsewhere during the festival, there\u2019ll be a number of panels focused on translated fiction, and an appearance from British rapper and musician Kae Tempest. Malorie Blackman (Noughts & Crosses<\/em>) and Hernan Diaz (Trust<\/em>) will also be in attendance.\u00a0Tickets for the event are on sale now from the Southbank Centre\u2019s official website.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe guest curation is the latest move by the esteemed London venue in its 75th anniversary celebrations. In June, Harry Styles curated the annual Meltdown Festival and also performed a stripped-back, rarity-stuffed headline show as part of the program.<\/p>\n

\n\tDua\u2019s Service95 Book Club launched in 2023, and its monthly reads have included both classics (One Hundred Years of Solitude<\/em> by Gabriel Garcia Marquez) and a number of contemporary favorites (Flesh<\/em> by David Szalay).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
