“We are holding a birthday party. A 100th birthday party for a man who is no longer around, and whom most of us never met. And we are holding this party across six different continents. It’s an outlandish proposition – the kind, I suspect, that Ivan Illich would have enjoyed.” – Dougald Hind. Dougald Hine

Saturday Sept 5th 2:30 til 5:00pm

Come for a while, have a drink, meet some fellow admirers.

Cracks in the foundations of modernity - here’s a brilliantly written, thought-provoking illumination by Dougald Hine that was published 3 years ago (I’m late to the funeral party as usual) - is it time to stop trying to save a way of life that is ending, stop talking about ‘sustainability’ of the unsustainable? Read this. Talk about it.

AUTHOR TALK 📚

We are delighted to announce that Mark Bowles will be joining us on Sat 25th July at 6pm til 7:30pm to chat about his new book How Do People Stay The Same.

Mark’s first book, All My Precious Madness, is one of our favourite books of the decade and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to chat!

Mark will be interviewed by resident literary interrogator, Ella, along with a reading and a Q&A. Tickets are available now for £3, redeemable against the price of a book, which is at Goldfinch NOW!

Alongside his own writing, Mark teaches a number of creative writing courses, including ‘Writing with ADHD’, and his work is beautifully emotive, entertaining and poetic.

So hurry up! Grab a book and a ticket!
