About this Event
We are thrilled to welcome Iain Sinclair here at Hatchards to celebrate his book “Pariah Genius” in which he follows in the footsteps of photographer John Deakin, whose chronicles of Soho life - and the world of Francis Bacon and his friends - have so influenced our perception of that generation's work.
As we will discover this evening, Iain entered into the underworld of Deakin's life and imagination to pursue Deakin across continents, in dive bars, and bedrooms. It’s quite the story, and the result is an engrossing, utterly unique portrait of a man who some felt was a fallen angel, and others, the devil himself.
Brilliantly, Iain will be in conversation with the journalist and author of, most recently, “If You Were There”, Francisco Garcia.
We hope you will be able to join us for what promises to be a very special event!
