Jon McGregor Reading form Reservoir 13 - 10th May

Posted 17:36, 10 May 2017

 In April last year the very wonderful Jon McGregor came to see us. He read from his (then) novel-in-progress and crossed out the bits that didn't sound right. We're delighted to have him back here on 10th May when he'll be reading from the finished piece Reservoir 13. It's brilliant by the way. We love it and here's what other people had to say;

Absolutely magnificent; one of the most beautiful, affecting novels I’ve read in years. The prose is alive and ringing. There is so much space and life in every sentence. I don’t know how he’s done it. It’s beautiful’ - Eimear McBride

‘McGregor writes with such grace and precision, with love even, about who and where we are, that he leaves behind all other writers of his generation’ - Sarah Hall

‘If you don’t yet know you should read novels by Jon McGregor, then I can’t help you’ - Evie Wyld

Tickets cost £5 which includes a glass of wine and £4 off purchases on the night. Book them HERE
