past events
To mark publication of Gods Without Men, I’ll be in the UK, doing various public events. I don’t have all the details yet, and more stuff is likely to be added, but I’d love to see you at any of the following:
Fri 22nd-Sun 24th July Port Eliot Festival: I’ll be reading from the novel, talking with Katie Kitamura about our Film4 commission to write a movie about Bruce Chatwin and interviewing Gillian Slovo about her memoir Every Secret Thing, which describes her life as the daughter of anti-apartheid activists Joe Slovo and Ruth First, who was murdered by the South African intelligence service in 1982. Gillian is the president of English PEN, and we’ll also be discussing freedom of speech and human rights more generally. I’ll also be interviewing Patrick French about his book India: A Portrait.
Thu 28th July 7pm Reading at Keats House, Hampstead, London. In association with Daunt books.
Thu 4th August Publication of Gods Without Men.
Mon 8th August Reading at The Book Stops Here, London, with Ross Raisin and Mark Watson.
