About this Event
In 2015 Marlon James won the Booker Prize with his Jamaican set novel A Brief History of Seven Killings. 10 years on Marlon is visiting the UK with a special edition of the award-winning title – join him at Brixton Library to discuss this and his exceptional writing career.
Jamaica, 1976, Seven gunmen storm Bob Marley’s house, machine guns blazing. The reggae superstar survives, but the gunmen are never caught. Spanning three decades and crossing continents, A Brief History of Seven Killings chronicles the lives of a host of unforgettable characters – slum kids, drug lords, journalists, prostitutes, gunmen and even the CIA. Gripping and inventive, ambitious and mesmerising, the book is one of the most remarkable and extraordinary novels of the twenty-first century.
