The Little World of Stella Benson In brief Date - 25 September 2024 Venue - 50 George Square Guest speaker - Nina Six About the event by Nina Six I am currently working on the graphic adaptation of the life of the English author Stella Benson (1892-1933) and her novel "Living Alone" (1919). Stella Benson was a writer closely associated with Virginia Woolf but unfortunately fell into obscurity after the war. She has written about the condition of women at the beginning of the 20th century, about war and about her travels. She was also a great poet and had an infinite love for dogs. My aim is to reintroduce her writing through the medium of comic books. This event is organised by the Centre de Recherches Francophones Belges in conjunction with Intermediality Studies. About the speaker Nina Six is a comic book author and illustrator. She was born in France in 1998 and has lived in Belgium for the last ten years.

She illustrated the novel Alfred et les enfants oubliés (2023) published by Milan and the children's album Monsieur Bigounia (2024) published by Sarbacane. She is currently working on a comic book retracing the life and work of English author Stella Benson (1892-1933), to be published in 2025. How to attend This event is open to all, and free to attend.
