Fiction Double Bill: Evie Wyld & Laura Beatty 3rd July 7.30pm


Recommended Posts

Dulwich Books are delighted to host a fiction double will featuring Evie Wyld in conversation with Laura Beatty on Thursday 3rd July, chaired by Costa Novel Award 2013 judge, Eithne Farry.


Evie Wyld is the author of the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize winning novel 'After the Fire, A Still Small Voice.' In 2010 she was listed by The Daily Telegraph as one of the twenty best British authors under the age of 40 and appeared on Granta Magazine?s Best of Young British Novelists list. Evie also runs The Review Bookshop in Peckham. Her latest novel, 'All The Birds, Singing' has just been published in paperback.


?A dark, powerfully disturbing and beautifully observed story? ? William Boyd on All the Birds, Singing.


Laura Beatty is the author of 'Pollard,' a book that Dulwich Books? bookseller Philip Maltman has been recommending for five years and is regularly in our bestseller chart. When 'Pollard' was published in 2008 it won the Authors? Club First Novel Award and was shortlisted for the Royal Society of Literature?s Ondaatje Prize. May 2014 sees the publication of her second stunning novel, 'Darkling' which has already received great reviews.


?A fierce and wonderful book ... This is just the sort of generous, provocative novel the Booker judges should cherish...Bewitching... despite its readability, Pollard is the precise opposite of escapist literature, because it gives the reader back the world? - The Observer on Pollard.


This event will be chaired by Eithne Farry, who is an author, reviewer, journalist and Costa Novel Award 2013 judge.


Doors will open at 7pm with drinks served; the event will start at 7.30pm and last approximately one hour followed by a book signing.

    • I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.  
    • Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!   
    • Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
