Event Description
Walker Zupp is a Bermudian writer. His parents were photographers. He studied at Saltus Grammar School in Bermuda and at Marlborough College in the UK. After a failed attempt to study law, he received his BA in English Language & Creative Writing from Lancaster University, and the following year received an MA in Creative Writing. In 2023 he received his PhD in Creative Writing from the University of Exeter.
He has published novels, poetry, and literary criticism. He is a Ludwig Wittgenstein scholar and has keen interests in religion, philosophy, and politics. He is a member of the British Wittgenstein Society and recently delivered a chapter from his new book, “Wittgenstein Fiction”, at a Wittgenstein conference at Tokyo Metropolitan University.
He is currently working on two books. The first is a book of philosophy which uses “burdens” as a matrix for understanding the 21st Century; the second is a book about the recent Bermudian general election, and its failure to move Bermuda’s politics beyond a racialized political discourse.
