Literary February

Independent bookshop, Pages of Hackney

Monday 11 February, 8pm

Stoke Newington Bookshop hosts a discussion of Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce. When Harold Fry leaves home one morning to post a letter as his wife hoovers upstairs, he has no idea he is about to walk from one end of the country to the other. He has no hiking boots or map, let alone a compass, waterproof or mobile phone. All he knows is that he must keep walking, to save someone else’s life.

Wednesday 13 February, 7pm

The Broadway Bookshop welcomes Nicholas Royle to launch his new book First Novel. It has been described as a darkly funny examination of the relative attractions of creative writing courses and suburban dogging sites. Or as a twisted campus novel and possible murder mystery that’s not afraid to blend fact with fiction in its exploration of the nature of identity.

Places are limited – please book in advance.

Thursday 28 February, 7pm

Poets Stephen Knight and Charles Boyle of CB editions will be joined by musician Caroline Weeks at the Broadway Bookshop for a night of song, poetry reading and conversation.

Places are limited – please book in advance.
