An evening with Marlon James 28th May 2024

Afrori Books in association with Brighton Book Festival invites you to join us in celebrating the 10th anniversary of Marlon James' mind-blowing modern classic, "A Brief History Of Seven Killings."

28th May. 7.30pm

Picture this: 1976, seven gunmen storming Bob Marley's house with machine guns blazing. The reggae legend survives, and the gunmen vanish into thin air.

This evening promises pure joy as we delve into the heart of a novel that rocked the literary world. Be part of the live on-stage conversation with Marlon, where he reflects on the unforgettable characters that inhabit this extraordinary book. From journalists to slum kids, and drug lords to the CIA, it's a journey through a world that will leave you breathless.

Whether you've been a fan since the beginning or are just discovering Marlon's incredible writing and this sweeping epic, this event is for you. Step into the vibrant and mythic world that solidified Marlon James as one of the most important Caribbean writers of our time. Fun fact: Marlon James made history as the first Jamaican to clinch the Booker Prize in 2015.

And, of course, you'll have the chance to ask Marlon your burning questions.

Don't miss out on this one-of-a-kind evening! It's not just an event; it's an experience. See you there!
