Words on Cities – Iain Sinclair, Tom Chivers, Katy Darby, Clare Fisher
From Samuel Pepys to Zadie Smith, the city has long been an influence on modern writing. As a setting, a starting point or even a medium, the urban landscape draws a particular kind of creation.
Annexe has brought together four of the finest writers working with the urban condition for an evening of talks and performances that display their hugely varied takes on the city.
on the bill:
Psychogeographical hero, Iain Sinclair will be talking about growing up in East London and how that molded a fascination with an America that he had never seen.
Tom Chivers (Penned in the Margins) is giving a talk that will focus on his practice of ‘psychogeology’ and his migration through the lost rivers of London.
Katy Darby (Liars' League) will be reading a selection of her prose work based around London.
Clare Fisher’s current project The City in my Head is an exploration of London through fiction. Each story gives a snapshot of a particular area, constructed from human experience. Claire will be reading a selection of works from the collection.
Price: £7.00
