We’re delighted to announce our event with Eliza Clark, author of the word-of-mouth phenomenon Boy Parts and a Granta pick for Best Young British Novelist.
In Boy Parts Clark announced herself as an iconoclast, gleefully taking aim at cultural taboos. With her new novel, Penance, Clark casts an indelibly dark gaze over our obsession with true crime. Following a journalist as he meticulously assembles the facts of a teenager’s murder, which may in fact not be facts at all, Penance is a bone-chilling satire of moral posturing in an era of voyeurism.
Don’t miss this opportunity to hear one of the boldest new voices in contemporary fiction, in conversation with Griffith Review editor, the always charming Carody Culver.
