Outspoken presents Alexander McCall Smith in conversation at Maleny.
Alexander McCall Smith, often referred to as Sandy, is one of the world’s best-loved authors. He began his career as a professor of medical law, working in universities in the UK and abroad (including in Botswana) before turning his hand to writing fiction.
Since then he has written more than 100 books, including specialist academic titles, short story collections, and a number of immensely popular children’s books.
It is, however, his novels that have delighted tens of millions of readers, with his books now translated into 46 languages.
Some of his best-known are, of course, his The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series, but also the popular 44 Scotland Street novels, first published as a serial novel in the Scotsman newspaper, and now the longest-running serial novel in the world; the Isabel Dalhousie novels, and the von Igelfeld series.
He is also the author of the Corduroy Mansions, which started life as an engaging cross-media serial written for the Telegraph online. More recently he launched the Ulf Varg series of Scandi blanc novels, set in Sweden.
While in Australia he will be promoting five books.
“Sandy is nothing if not prolific, and we are terribly pleased to have him return to Maleny,” Outspoken’s Steven Lang said.
This event has attracted a lot of attention. Book today to avoid disappointment.
McCall Smith will be at Maleny Primary School Hall on Friday 10 March at 6 for 6.30pm. Tickets at outspokenmaleny.com
