Join us for an afternoon with three of our most exciting young female writers for discussions that will cut across fiction, short stories and innovative, creative non fiction. We’ll be joined by Jen Calleja, Marnie Appleton and Katharina Volckmer and discussing human connection, dead end jobs, fleeting encounters, empty couplings, break ups, bust ups and of course goblins.
Via the everyday experiences of friendship, family, dating and desire in Marnie Appleton’s short stories (I Hope You’re Happy), Jimmie’s sly, sharp, melancholy insights into the indignities of a world in Katharina Volckmer’s Calls May Be Recorded for Training and Monitoring Purposes and Jen Calleja’s theory of Goblin Hood explored through pop culture from film, literature and art.
This is a unique chance to listen to three brilliant writers discuss their vital new work, ask questions and pick up all three books signed. This will be three talks, each writer will be separately in conversation with Sophie and Carl throughout the afternoon.
