MEMORIES OF REVOLUTION Event 435 Sunday 2 June 2013, 4pm Venue: Digital Stage
Memories of revolution
Chris Keil and Julian Preece in conversation with New Welsh Review editor Gwen Davies.
As markets collapse and bankers gorge themselves on bonuses, Chris Keil and Julian Preece look back to the 1970s, when revolution seemed about to change the world.
Chris Keils latest novelFlirting at the Funeralis set against a background of global crisis and the power of the super rich; its a narrative haunted by memories of revolution and terror Portugal in 1974, Germany in 1977 and by the ghostly presence of the Red Army Faction and the Captains of April. Professor Preeces non-fiction titleBaader Meinhof and the novelis a study of the bombings and kidnappings of the German Autumn as reflected in literature, and explores forty years of myths and conspiracy theories around the German terrorist movement. In times of chaos and financial corruption, the powerful resonances between these two books should make for a fascinating and provocative discussion.
"The unpurged images of day recede;
the Emperor's drunken soldiery are abed."
Flirting at the Funeral and Cillian Press are going to Gort Festival!!
