Event overview
Pamela Johnson will read from her third novel, Taking In Water, and Francis Spufford from his recent novel, Golden Hill
Pamela Johnson published two novels, Under Construction and Deep Blue Silence, with Sceptre; her third, Taking In Water, supported by an Arts Council Writers’ Award, was published this year by Blue Door Press. She teaches on the MA in Creative and Life Writing at Goldsmiths and runs the literary website Words Unlimited which has an archive of interviews with many authors, including recent graduates of the MA.
Francis Spufford is a senior lecturer in creative writing at Goldsmiths. His previous books include Unapologetic (a defence of Christianity), Red Plenty (set in Soviet Russia), Backroom Boys and The Child That Books Built. His much acclaimed recent novel, Golden Hill, set in eighteenth-century New York, has been described as a ‘virtuosic triumph’ (Financial Times) and ‘a novel of such joy it leaves you beaming, and such seriousness that it asks to be read again and again’ (Telegraph).
