Enjoy an evening of live readings and discussion about Michael Nath’s new novel The Treatment.
At a London bus stop, a black teenager is murdered by a racist gang. 20 years later the murder is not forgotten. The Treatment is steeped in London’s criminal and corrupt past. Like a seventeenth-century revenge tragedy, its characters reel from the streets, bars and brothels and are propelled by wild justice.
The talk will be followed by a book signing.
This event is in collaboration with Riverrun.
