- It turns out there are some places left on my Memoir & Life Writing short course at the University of the Arts starting February 16. The course runs for 5 weeks and is being held ONLINE from 18:00-20:30 (London time) every Monday so you can tune in from anywhere in the world. (1)
- OK, so Balsam Karam’s novel ‘Event Horizon’ is an absolutely incredible piece of writing. It reminded me a bit of Marlen Haushofer’s ‘The Wall’ in that it can described as dystopian or speculative, but because of the world we are living in, the events described are ones that feel all too real.
