{Monday28th June} Monday 28th June - 7.30pm
The adjective �Orwellian� is now a byword for a particular way of thinking about life and literature, but despite this iconic status, the author of Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four has remained an enigma. Who was the real George Orwell? Reading from his work: Orwell: The Life - a biography which draws on a mass of previously unseen interviews and material - D.J. Taylor promises to shed light on the life and times of one of the twentieth century�s most important and brilliant writers. A well-known critic, reviewer and novelist in his own right, D.J. Taylor won the Whitbread Award for this biography. His previous books include: After the War: The Novel and England since 1945, an acclaimed biography, Thackeray, and the novels Trespass and The Comedy Man. Monday 28th June - 7.30pm
From The Margins of� unearths the work of the elusive composer S.W. Holmes. His career, spanning over three decades, will be made public during the Humber Mouth festival via a presentation (including performance) at Hull Screen cinema and a dedicated website archive. The project explores his short-lived affiliations with avant-garde luminaries, as well as his intriguing connections to the city. A wilfully reluctant figure, Holmes� has previously shied away from retrospectives and accolades; by temperament and by inclination, his work exists �on the margins�.
Monday 28th June - 6.30pm - 9.00pm
