Come and join Damon Young, author of The Art of Reading, at a Bookshop Kibworth event taking place at Kibworth Library, on Thursday 9th August 2018 at 7:30pm.
As young children, we are taught to read, but soon go on to forget just how miraculous a process it is, this turning of scratches and dots into understanding, unease and inspiration. Perhaps we need to stop and remember, stop and learn again how to read better.
Damon Young shows us how to do exactly this, walking alongside some of the greatest readers who light a path for us — Borges, Plato, Woolf. Young reads passionately, selectively, surprisingly — from superhero noir to speculative realism, from Heidegger to Heinlein — and shows his reader how cultivating their inner critic can expand their own lives as well as the lives of those on the pages of the books they love.
Tickets are £5 in advance or £6 on the door, please note the doors open from 7pm.
