January sees us attack the new year head-on with an event as bracing as a stiff breeze, sweeping as a new broom and challenging as Anneka … we welcome two of the most creative thinkers we know (albeit of very different thoughts and very different talents) in, dare we say, an unusual masterstroke of programming. JONATHAN LETHEM is one of the most original, entertaining and important writers of contemporary American fiction. The author of ‘Motherless Brooklyn‘ and ‘The Fortress Of Solitude‘ introduces us to his brilliant new novel, ‘Dissident Gardens‘. DOMINIC FRISBY is a comedian, writer and old friend of Book Slam. He returns to read from ‘Life After The State‘, a book that is both simple and erudite, and thought-provoking for all shades of the political spectrum. More guests to be confirmed soon. Hosted by our new favourite comedian and the compère beyond compare, FELICITY WARD.
