An evening built around the words themselves. Michael Hurley will read a selection of passages from across his work, moving between quieter scenes, memorable characters, and sections that reveal different sides of his writing. Each reading will be introduced with a little context about where it came from and what made the passage important to him. There will be short pauses for conversation between selections, creating a relaxed atmosphere rather than a formal presentation. The event will finish with audience questions and time for readers to meet Michael afterwards.
