Goblinhood; Cannibalism, mischief, sex, music and puppets.
Join us on Friday October 18th for the most gruesome evening. Stockport welcomes Jen Calleja and Roy Claire Potter to talk about Goblin as a mode.
As formally inventive as readers have come to expect from one of the most daring writers around, and as wild and tricky as its subject matter requires, Goblinhood: Goblin as a Mode presents us with a series of essays and poems that playfully, artfully propound Jen Calleja's theory of ‘goblin hood’—a theory that takes in all aspects of pop culture from film, literature and art as well as the author’s personal and original examinations of grief, lust, family histories and the physical fact of living in the world as it is.
The host for the evening is Roy Claire Potter, artist working between performance and writing. They are Senior Lecturer in Fine Art at LJMU. Roy's debut novel The Wastes is out now.
Tickets include a free drink on arrival. Doors from 6.30, event starts at 7.15.
