Join us for an evening with Anthony Gardner, who will talk about his new book ‘All God’s Creatures’. Perfect for fans of Evelyn Waugh and Tom Sharpe, the book is a gentle, satirical novel about the madness of cancel culture. There will also be a Q&A and a chance to get a signed copy of the book.

About the book:
When mild-mannered editor Ben Fairweather loses his job after being branded a “petphobic bigot” by a fanatical religious movement that believes animals are closer to God than humans, he stumbles into a new life as a nightclub pianist. But soon he is drawn into a world of spies, art forgery, sinister oligarchs, AI and murder.

All God’s Creatures is Anthony Gardner’s ingenious caper: part madcap farce, part sharp-eyed satire in the tradition of Evelyn Waugh and Tom Sharpe, and an unsettling mirror of our own age of chaos.

About the author:
Author, journalist, and former editor of the Royal Society of Literature Review, Anthony Gardner has written for The Sunday Times Magazine, Irish Times, and The Economist. He is the author of two previous novels (The Rivers of Heaven, Fox) and two collections of poetry, one of which was longlisted for the Rathbones Folio Prize.
