AWW23: Meet a Polymath - Alexander McCall Smith

Chair: Sue Turnbull

Alexander McCall Smith is a man of many talents. An Emeritus Professor of Medical Law, he is perhaps best known for his entertaining crime books, including The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series. These beloved works are just the tip of a prolific iceberg that encompasses everything from philosophy to children’s literature. In this session, he’ll turn his hand to a new task - attempting to convince crime reviewer and academic Sue Turnbull to open the untouched volume of W.H. Auden poetry she won as a school prize in 1969.
