An Evening with Claire Carroll, Tessa Hadley & Richard Kerridge

Join Tessa Hadley, Richard Kerridge and debut author Claire Carroll for the launch of The Unreliable Nature Writer, a delightful exploration of our relationships in the face of shifting climate and other crises.

“Ominous yet deeply tender, surreal yet undeniable. I could not look away.” Saba Sams, Send Nudes

The Unreliable Nature Writer depicts an unsettlingly warm world under the strain of intimate and global anxieties. Delightful to read and unsettling to imagine, these are haunting stories about love, loss and strangely-exposing housing applications.
