It was pleasure to talk to @NewBooksNetwork about my recent book, Walking in the Dark: James Baldwin, My Father, and Me: newbooksnetwork.com/walking-in-the…
I'm delighted to announce the details of a symposium on James Baldwin and Britain at Queen Mary, University of London on March 21 & 22 this year. Free tickets (and lunch) but booking is essential: eventbrite.co.uk/e/james-baldwi…
On Thursday 28th November, I'll be at the Stubbing Wharf pub, Hebden Bridge, at 6.30 pm talking with @HoratioClare about my new book, Walking in the Dark: James Baldwin, My Father, and Me: manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526175175/ - no tickets required
“If Baldwin found peace with his stepfather after his death, then his early writing was an exorcism of sorts.” @misbehavingmonk on James Baldwin and complex relationships with paternal figures. lithub.com/inside-james-b…
Publishing today! In his new book, @misbehavingmonk unravels his lifelong fascination with #JamesBaldwin. Tracing Baldwin's footsteps, Field offers both an intimate look at Baldwin's life and influence, and a poignant account of coming to terms with his own father's Alzheimer's.
Almost a month to the day since my father died, copies of Walking in the Dark: James Baldwin, My Father and Me arrived today courtesy of @ManchesterUP. I’m looking forward to talking about the book soon with @Wodworm, @DavidOlusoga & at @gowerst_books
Join us at @gowerst_books for an evening with writer and academic @misbehavingmonk, who will be discussing his new book 'Walking in the dark: James Baldwin, my father, and me', with Mendez. 14/11 Tickets available now: waterstones.com/events/walking… #Waterstones #London #JamesBaldwin
In this month’s @BylineTimes, I write about James Baldwin & my father’s long battle with Alzheimer’s.
I’m 100 pages into The Catch: Fishing for Ted Hughes by @Wodworm, which is entrancing: a fresh look at Ted Hughes in beautifully hewn prose that makes the landscapes of the Calder Valley & Devon come alive. Stunning.
Glorious morning in Colden, Hebden Bridge. St Thomas the Apostle Church, near where Sylvia Plath is buried, is floating in the background.
I'm looking forward to talking with @DavidOlusoga about James Baldwin on November 27th in Manchester @anthonyburgess . Free tickets can be booked here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/a-celebratio…
Great to be @HOME_mcr last night with the wonderful @MsEllenEJones discussing Raoul Peck's film about James Baldwin, I am Not Your Negro. I'm looking forward to next week's events on Baldwin and Britain: homemcr.org/event/james-ba…
