About this Event
In My Battle of Hastings, Xiaolu Guo chronicles - as an author and as a character - her year living by the English Channel, sprayed by grey waves and chilled by icy winds while seeking a deeper connection to Britain. This is a rare opportunity to hear a Granta “Best Young British Novelist of the Year” whose books and dozen award-winning films include How Is Your Fish Today (Sundance Official Selection) and UFO In Her Eyes (Toronto International Film Festival). Her feature She, A Chinese received the Golden Leopard Award at the Locarno Festival. Her documentary We Went to Wonderlandwas in the Official Selection of New Directors / New Films at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC. Her new novel, a subversive reimagining of Moby Dick entitled Call Me Ishmaelle is published by Chatto this month.
