Book Launch // Centrefolding by Kirsty Dunlop // Sincere Corkscrew - 28th March @ 7pm

Available

Join us for the Edinburgh launch of Kirsty Dunlop's electrifying, sharp and witty debut novella, Centrefolding.

In Centrefolding an unnamed protagonist shifts, sprints, swerves and transmorphs through the “Centre!” (exclamation mark required): a research institute in some northern British city, in our current jittery moment. Glitches in reality abound – expect research into alien life that goes nowhere, an underground hospital, an Entrepreneur-in-Residence, and ‘lingerers’ slithering under glass doors (you know, like a worm).

"Centrefolding is my dream novelette: gossipy, pacy, and full of gorgeous swerves of language. With enviable wit and inventiveness, it diagnoses the maladies of our contemporary institutions, and reveals the corporate-washed future as the bad joke it is. It’s a book for the sick, the precarious, the loiterers, and the brilliant and glamorous in spite of it all – Kirsty Dunlop has written a future cult classic."

— Daisy Lafarge, author of Lovebug

Readings from the author will be followed by a discussion between Kirsty Dunlop and Maria Sledmere plus a Q&A session.
