jazzy_daveThese are the talks I will be attending in two weeks time - at the Second Faversham Literary Festival.
"Psychogeographer Iain Sinclair embarks on a series of expeditions through London, Marseilles, Mexico and the Outer Hebrides to explore the relationships between our health and the buildings that surround us, while taking many detours along the way. Walking is Sinclair's defensive magic against illness and, as he moves, he observes his surroundings: stacked tower blocks and behemoth estates, halogen-lit glasshouse offices and humming hospitals, the blackened hull of a Spitalfields church and the floating mass of Le Corbusier's radiant city. Hosted by festival director Amanda Dackombe.
Sinclair's recent work represents some of the most important in contemporary English letters – Will Self, New Statesman
Sinclair breathes wondrous life into monstrous, man-made landscapes – Times Literary Supplement"
"Punk pioneer Viv Albertine, the guitarist from The Slits, talks frankly and fearlessly about how anger has made her the person she is today. With brutal honesty and humour she talks about divorce and the death of her mother, loneliness and human dysfunctionality, the damage wrought by secrets and revelations – and how we can fall apart then rebuild ourselves and re-engage with the world. Shock, awe and a lot of laughs. Viv will be in conversation with writer and psychoanalyst Anouchka Grose.
To Throw Away Unopened follows Clothes Clothes, Clothes, Clothes. Music, Music, Music. Boys, Boys, Boys, which charts Viv's role as a woman in a male-dominated music scene. It was a Book of the Year in The Sunday Times, Mojo, Rough Trade and the NME and was shortlisted for the National Book Awards.!
Think I will give this a spin now -
