Alice Walter presents The Medium at Offprint 2024
|
Saturday 18 May 2024, 10.45am
Offprint London
Turbine Hall, Tate Modern (McAulay Studio)
Free, open to all.
Offprint London starts tomorrow from 2pm at Tate Modern in the Turbine Hall. We’ll be there all weekend but if you can make it on Saturday morning we’ll be kicking off the events schedule at 10.45am with a reading from Alice Walter. Come and hear Alice read from her astounding debut novel, The Medium, published as part of the Arrhythmia series, edited by Katrina Palmer
To read The Medium is to be submerged in a stream of consciousness populated by uninvited voices from the underworld. Animated, urgent, and brutally propulsive, this cacophony of competing narratives begins to upset the boundary between the living and the dead. The Medium is an alchemical novel, shimmering with insight from the depths of a black lake.
For full details of the Offprint London programme visit their website. Both the fair and the reading are free and open to all, with no booking required.
