Indie Night: February image
Synopsis:

Join us for an evening of readings and conversation, celebrating independent publishers and books that defy the ordinary.
 
Known for taking creative risks and championing fresh perspectives, independent publishers bring vital, boundary-pushing books into the world – works that often wouldn’t find space in the mainstream. Indie Night is our brand-new quarterly series celebrating these presses and the brilliant authors they publish.
 
Each event showcases a handpicked, eclectic mix of four writers – fiction and nonfiction, established names and emerging voices – united by the same independent spirit as their publishers. One by one, the authors read from their work and sit down for a conversation with our hosts, Okechukwu Nzelu and Eliza Clark.
 
This month’s edition features readings and discussion from Deepa Anappara, Khairani Barokka, Vigdis Hjorth and Tim MacGabhann, with an introduction to the event from Max Porter.
