Event: Is London British? Iain Sinclair in conversation with Bonnie Greer and Yang Lian

Pages of Hackney presents Iain Sinclair in conversation with Bonnie Greer and Yang Lian.
Round Chapel, Lower Clapton Road, E5 0PU
Tuesady 8 December, 7pm – tickets £5

How does your environment shape the way you think and who you are? Come to this unique event that will challenge Nick Griffin’s recent contention on Question Time that London isn’t “British.” Author and playwrite, Bonnie Greer, talks about this and her new book, “Obama Music” and why place is so important in shaping identity. Poet, Yang Lian, discusses his collection of poems, “Lee Valley Poems,” conceived and written in London, somewhere he describes as once his exile and now his home. The event will be chaired by Iain Sinclair, psycho-geographer and author of “Hackney: That Rose-Red Empire.”
