| Dear Readers,
This is the part of the year that feels most jam-packed with bookishness. New releases are surrounding us from all sides (how can we possibly keep up?!), the Booker Shortlist is announced, and our events programme is stuffed full of fascinating talks.
To that end, we are delighted to announce a new event.
Join us for what will be a fantastic evening in the company of Ashleigh Nugent, author of one of the year’s most scintillating debut novels, Locks. Ashleigh will be discussing his novel with Lily Dunn, Bristol-based author and creative writing teacher.
Ashleigh will also be discussing the inspirational work he does as creative director of Rise Up, an organisation that runs projects and courses to empower those often left abandoned in our societies – whether in prison or elsewhere in the community. As part of his work with Rise Up, Ashleigh has been running projects at Horfield prison this autumn.
This will be a talk with a fascinating double focus, and is not to be missed.
The talk will take place at 7pm on Tuesday October 17th at Gloucester Road Books, 184 Gloucester Road. Tickets and further information can be found here. |
