Assault ‘n’ Sauce v Assault ‘n’ Vinegar: East v West

It’s fast becoming a tradition in any book festival worth its salt that there is an East Coast v West Coast event – or a North v South.

Next week is Book Week Scotland and on Thursday November 26 the formidable Caro Ramsay will be debating with the plucky Neil Broadfoot on which setting is tops – is it West (which rhymes with Best) or the East (which rhymes with East).

They’re both pictured here – and if you can’t work out which is which, then you have my pity.

I’ll be moderating the event and if you think you detect any bias you couldn’t be more wrong. I will be fair and even-minded, even though Glasgow is best.

You’ll find details here:
