About the event
Join us in the shop to launch the much-anticipated, The Royal Free from acclaimed author Carl Shuker, published by Te Herenga Waka University Press.
This event is a part of the Verb Readers and Writers Festival 2024.
Equal parts workplace comedy, home invasion thriller and literary conundrum, The Royal Free is an exuberant, dark, wildly entertaining novel about death and copy-editing.
From the author of A Mistake, now a major motion picture directed by Christine Jeffs.
About the book:
James Ballard is a recently bereaved single father to a baby daughter, and a medical editor tasked with saving the Royal London Journal of Medicine. In the London outside of the office, the prognosis for the body politic is bad: civic unrest is poised on the brink of riots. Attempting to grieve for his wife, while haunted by a group of violent North London teenagers in a collapsing city, James is brought to crisis.
