🌃 An Evening with Carole Burns and Craig Jordan-Baker

Join us on a discussion for the newly published Brick Dust, as author Craig Jordan-Baker discusses the making of the book with Carole Burns. Brick Dust is a darkly comic, multi-layered family saga about memory, identity, and the stories we cling to.

📖 About the book:
This sprawling saga of family and class is told by an enigmatic narrator, a hoarder of documents, who is trying to lay out a history of the Nacullian family. As the jumble of their lives is pieced together we witness them migrate, marry, work up library fines, die, build bridges and Morris dance. Brick Dust is a comedic tale about the struggle to make something solid, when all we have is dust. Parts of the book are set in Southampton and deal with themes of class, migration and identity - in a darkly humourous way.

✒️ About the author:
Craig Jordan-Baker is a Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing at The University of Brighton. He has published fiction in New Writing, Text, Firefly Magazine and the époque press é-zine, among others. His drama has been widely performed, including his adaptation of Beowulf and he has had dramatic work commissioned from organisations such as The New Forest National Park, The National Archives and The Booth Museum of Natural History. He is a contributing co-editor of Writing Landscape and Setting in the Anthropocene- Britain and Beyond and regularly runs nature-based writing events and courses.
