Secret Histories: Damian Barr with Sarah Perry

19.00 Wednesday 3rd April 2019

Inspired by real events, You Will Be Safe Here uncovers a hidden colonial history and present-day darkness while exploring our capacity for cruelty and kindness. This is the debut novel from Damian Barr, whose awarding-winning memoir, Maggie & Me, was about coming of age and coming out in Thatcher?s Britain. He is the creator and host of the marvellous Literary Salon.

We are thrilled that Damian will be with us on the evening before the publication day of You Will Be Safe Here. He will be talking about his novel with Sarah Perry, author of Dulwich Books favourites, The Essex Serpent and Melmoth. Both You Will Safe Here and Melmoth consider the links between hidden legacies of history and the present. Don?t miss what is sure to be a fantastic discussion about this wonderful debut novel and about how fiction can be used to illuminate the past.

The event will start promptly at 19.00 and finish by 20.30

Location: Dulwich Books, 6 Croxted Rd, Dulwich, SE21 8SW

Price: ?10 (admission & glass of wine)

?22 (admission, copy of You Will Be Safe Here & glass of wine)

  Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country. 10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies. Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge. I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.

  I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining. And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend. So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure. I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me.

  If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?

  I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy. We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
