Attendance options:
We're delighted that Eliza Clark is coming to the bookshop for an event to celebrate the publication of her first story collection, She's Always Hungry. Clark is the author of bookseller favourites Boy Parts and Penance so it's exciting that she'll be here in late November. She will be in conversation with fellow writer Anahit Behrooz.
This event will take place in the bookshop with an in-person audience, as well as a livestream for attendees watching from home. There will be a signing after the event.
In-person vouchers can be redeemed on the night of the event against a single copy of She's Always Hungry – we will have a list of attendees with vouchers to be redeemed. Please note that only one voucher can be redeemed per book. Livestream vouchers are valid until the day after the event and can be redeemed on our website against a single copy of She's Always Hungry.
About She's Always Hungry:
A teenager longs for perfect skin. A scientist tends to fragile alien flora. A young man takes the night into his own hands. Each of these characters has a desperate desire. Can any of them be sated?
Unsettling, revelatory, and laced with her signature dark humour, Eliza Clark’s debut short story collection plumbs the depths of that most basic human feeling: hunger.
Please note: Tickets for our events are non-refundable. Professional photography and videography may take place during this event. Thank you for your understanding.
