Tues 23rd Nov: Lev Parikian - A British Year Through Japan's 72 Seasons

Join Lev Parikian (bird-watcher, nature writer and conductor) as he discusses his wonderful new book, Light Rains Sometimes Fall: A British Year through Japan?s 72 Seasons. By turns reflective, witty and joyous, this is both a nature diary and a revelation of the beauty of the small and subtle changes of the everyday.

He adopts the structure of the traditional Japanese calendar with its 72 micro-seasons. He charts the changes that each of these ancient microseasons (of a just a few days each) bring to his local South London patch - from the birds nesting in his garden on Knights Hill to the woods at the top of Streatham Common and the foxes of West Norwood Cemetery.

Location: Dulwich Books, 6 Croxted Road, West Dulwich, SE21 8SW

Time: 19.00 ? 20.30

Price: ?5 (Admission) / ?17 (Admission + copy of Light Rains Sometimes Fall, RRP ?14.99)

  Glastonbury is on the Somerset levels, drained land with a very high water table and when it rains...... I'm not sure of any other major festival that has this situation. I really enjoyed 85, but not 97 when it was not just wet but cold. Two or three later years even worse rain, and with larger crowds even more of a quagmire. Most Glastonburys are hot and sunny.

  Neither side has clean hands and the same applies historically. That is why I cannot fathom people taking sides, especially people with no connection to, or knowledge of, the region. It's incredibly complicated and, I fear, impossible to resolve.
