SUMMARY:Introducing Nathan Hill
DESCRIPTION:Dulwich Books introduces Nathan Hill\, New York Times bestselling author of The Nix. \nFrom the suburban Midwest to New York City to the 1968 riots that rocked Chicago and beyond\, The Nix explores—with sharp humor and a fierce tenderness—the resilience of love and home\, even in times of radical change. \n“The Nix is a mother-son psychodrama with ghosts and politics\, but it’s also a tragicomedy about anger and sanctimony in America . . . Nathan Hill is a maestro” — John Irving

SUMMARY:Paul Beatty in conversation with Gary Younge
DESCRIPTION:Paul Beatty (winner of the Man Booker Prize 2016) discusses his latest book with writer and journalist Gary Younge. \nPaul Beatty’s Man Booker Prize winning novel The Sellout is a radical satire of American racial politics. It tells the story of a young black man whose California hometown is wiped from the map to save the rest of the state from facing the embarrassment of its disrepair. Enlisting the help of the town’s most famous resident – Hominy Jenkins – he initiates the most outrageous action conceivable: reinstating slavery and segregating the local high school. \nPaul will be in conversation with Gary Younge\, who is a journalist and writer of great esteem. His latest book Another Day In The Death of America tells the story of a single unremarkable Saturday\, when 10 children and teens were shot dead across America. \nTheir conversation is sure to provide a unique take on the state of American society and\, in particular\, the roles of race and violence therein.

Golden Hill is set in 18th-Century New York\, a generation before the American Revolution.

Francis is also the author of five highly-praised books of non-fiction and he teaches writing at Goldsmiths College\, University of London. \nRichard T Kelly‘s third novel The Knives – a follow-up to his acclaimed debut Crusaders – is a gripping political thriller set at the heart of government\, concerning a fictional Home Secretary who finds himself besieged by multiple crises\, both political and personal.

His debut novel is Anatomy of a Soldier\, which is a moving\, enlightening and fiercely dramatic novel about one man’s journey of survival and the experiences of those around him in war. The story is told from the perspective of inanimate objects that surround Parker’s characters – an original take with utterly compelling results. \n

SUMMARY:Life In a Refugee Camp
DESCRIPTION:  \nWe discuss the past\, present and future of refugee camps. With an unprecedented refugee crisis in Europe\, and the continued displacement of peoples on other continents\, there has hardly been a more important time to reflect on the status of these precarious communities. \nFeaturing: \n  \n– Ben Rawlence\, author of Radio 4 Book of the Week City of Thorns \n– Olumide Popoola\, co-author of Breach \n– Annie Holmes\, co-author of Breach \n– Christina Lamb\, foreign correspondent at The Sunday Times \n– Photography by Sarah Hickson in association with the Calais Sessions (www.thecalaissessions.co.uk) \n  \n10% of all profits donated to CalAid\, which is an organisation providing support and donations to refugees stranded in Calais. Find out more about their work at www.calaid.co.uk. There will be a further collection on the night of the event. \n  \nBEN RAWLENCE is a traveller and writer. For four years Ben lived in Dadaab – the world’s biggest refugee camp\, located in Northern Kenya.To the charity workers\, Dadaab is a humanitarian crisis; to the Kenyan government\, it is a ‘nursery for terrorists’; to the western media\, it is a dangerous no-go area; but to its half a million residents\, it is their last resort. In his time there Ben grew to know many of those who call it home. In City of Thorns\, he interweaves the stories of nine individuals to show what life is like in the camp\, and to sketch the wider political forces that keep refugees trapped there. \n  \nOLUMIDE POPOOLA is a writer\, lecturer\, poet and performer. Her work includes a novella – This Is Not About Sadness – and a play – Also By Mail. In the last year Olumide has made a number of visits to the ‘Jungle’ refugee camp in Calais. Unlike Dadaab\, which is administered by the UN\, the Jungle is a settlement established by the people who live there\, most of whom are trying to reach the UK. Olumide’s experiences will be recorded in a new book published by Peirene Press later this year. Breach will tell the story of the crisis through the voices of refugees stuck in Calais. It documents an illusion disrupted: ‘that of a neatly ordered world\, with those deserving safety and comfort separated from those who need to be kept out’. \n  \nANNIE HOLMES is the co-writer of Breach. Originally from Zimbabwe\, she is a distinguished filmmaker\, writer and lecturer. She has worked extensively on tackling the structural causes of HIV at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. \n  \nCHRISTINA LAMB is an extremely distinguished writer and journalist. She is currently foreign correspondent at The Sunday Times\, but has published a number of books\, the most recent of which was the acclaimed Farewell Kabul. She will chair the event. \n  \nSARAH HICKSON is a travel photographer. She will present her photographs from the Jungle camp in Calais\, where she was involved in the Calais Sessions – a project to support and record musicians stranded in Calais. You can see more of her work at www.sarahhickson.com and you can find out about the Calais Sessions at www.thecalaissessions.com

SUMMARY:Tessa Hadley in conversation with Janet Davey
DESCRIPTION:Two of Britain’s leading authors Tessa Hadley (The Past) & Janet Davey (Another Mother’s Son) discuss their latest novels with Alex Clark\, book reviewer for The Guardian. \nTickets £4 redeemable against the purchase of either The Past or Another Mother’s Son. \nThe Past: “There is something reassuring yet deliciously unexpected about a Tessa Hadley novel.” (Helen Brown\, Daily Telegraph). Over five novels and two collections of stories Tessa Hadley has earned a reputation as a fiction writer of remarkable gifts\, and been compared with Elizabeth Bowen and Alice Munro. In her new novel three sisters and a brother meet up in their grandparents’ old house for three long\, hot summer weeks. \nAnother Mother’s Son: ‘We’re lucky to have such an intelligent chronicler of our present’ Tessa Hadley on Janet Davey. Lorna Parry lives with her three sons\, each one lurching uncomfortably into adulthood. In the claustrophobic loneliness of her own home\, Lorna orbits around her sons and struggles to talk to them; she’s still angry at her ex-husband\, uncomfortable around her father’s new girlfriend\, and works quietly as the only employee left in a deserted London archive.
