Author Iain Sinclair will discuss his latest book, American Smoke – Journeys to the End of the Light at an event at Café Oto, 18-22 Ashwin Street, Dalston, next month.

American Smoke, described as Sinclair’s “first, full engagement with the memory-filled landscapes of the American Beats and their fellow travellers” focusses on some of the writer’s literary heroes including Jack Kerouac and William Burroughs.

Revd William Taylor, a Hackney vicar and former director of OPEN (Organisation for Promotion of Environmental Needs) will also speak at the event, called ‘The Banned and The Damned’.

The event will take place on 19 December.

Doors open at 7pm for a 7.45pm start. For tickets visit cafeoto.co.uk
