Bill Bones Riddley Walker, 2024
Overview
During a visit to Canterbury cathedral in 1974, Russell Hoban encountered a fresco, The Legend of St Eustace, that moved him to write Riddley Walker. The book is a post-apocalyptic novel set in a future iron age, in which the people that remain, excavate machine parts from the earth of what was, once, Kent in England. The book is written in an imagined and fragmented future dialect that tells stories within stories in search of a lost ‘cleverness’
This is a participatory event during which we encourage you to share thoughts and spot connections between the book and themes within the Bed of Bill Bones.
