About this Event
Join us at The Hastings Bookshop for a conversation between Iain Sinclair and Xialou Guo about Iain Sinclair's new book PARIAH GENIUS.
In Pariah Genius, literary giant Iain Sinclair 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. In this bold fictionalisation, Sinclair enters the underworld of Deakin's life and imagination, pursuing his subject across continents, in dive bars, and bedrooms. The result is an engrossing, utterly unique portrait of a man who some felt was a fallen angel, and others, the devil himself.
Iain Sinclair is a writer and filmmaker. Much of his work is rooted in London, recently within the influences of psychogeography
Xiaolu Guo is a Chinese-born British novelist, memoirist and film-maker, who explores migration, alienation, memory, personal journeys, feminism, translation and transnational identities. Guo has directed a dozen films including documentaries and fiction.
