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.

    • Not sure what you mean by "involved with firework enjoyment"? I'm all for others enjoying themselves, and I like fireworks, but if they were limited to public displays then people could still enjoy them? Having said that, I see that tickets for the London New Year fireworks start at £20 (Dawson's Heights it is,  then!) The fireworks in Brockwell Park used to be free. I don't know why those don't happen any more?
    • Really interesting discussion here. It's difficult to respect the views of people who support Farage, Trump, Musk etc. Why should we, when their views are deplorable. But then that exact 'deplorable' label, as we know, is counterproductive and drives people to double down / switch off to more progressive views. How do you actually help change minds? We're currently spiralling into dark places culturally and politically imo. The amount of open racism, even amongst front line politicians here and in the US is astounding to me. Feels like we're going backwards. The influence of social media and the tech billionaires / bros, is a powerful and largely malignant one. There was an enlightening (and frightening) bit of journalism by Sky this week about Musk's influence on British politics. He has a strange obsession with the UK and London in particular (as do many on the US right wing): https://news.sky.com/story/the-x-effect-how-elon-musk-is-boosting-the-british-right-13464487
    • Looking for any tickets to the Dulwich Hamlets game against St Albans today!
    • I'm going to Paris with friends, staying in the 3rd arrondissement. I used to go a lot but that was ages ago so wondered if anyone has any 'insider tips'? We are interested in small art galleries, independent shops, good value cafes and restaurants that may not feature in all the many online articles or guides, thanks!
