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)

    • This is the relevant passage, I believe "Southwark Council (Peckham Rye, Burgess Park, Southwark Park) will earn a projected £440,000 from events in its parks in 2025, up from £340,000 in 2024. Events include GALA Festival in Peckham Rye, August’s Boiler Room, Jazz Café and Maiden Voyage in Burgess Park, and RALLY festival in Southwark Park." What would of course be interesting to know is what they spend this on. Is there any transferred benefit to those local people who live around and use these facilities? But I wouldn't hold your breath for an answer.
    • An interesting article from Journalist Jim Waterson about how much councils make from festivals....it starts with an article about 5g but scroll down for the festivals article    https://www.londoncentric.media/p/real-5g-conspiracy-how-londoners-lied-over-their-phone-signal
    • Could you give the news source so that I can see whether it is reliable (like BBC) or nuts ( like Reform conspiracy insights)?
