Michel Faber – Under the Skin in Suzhou and Beijing

I’ll be moderating a couple of events with the terrific and versatile author Michel Faber at the Bookworm International Literary Festivals this year. Faber is a terrific writer who’s work is inspired by the Victorian, the Gothic and Scotland where he has lived and worked for many years. I’m greatly looking forward to these events in Suzhou and Beijing.

Michel Faber – Under the Skin

Suzhou Bookworm: Friday, 4 March – RMB30 (tickets on sale at the Suzhou Bookworm)

Beijing Bookworm Wednesday, 9 March 6pm – RMB50 (tickets on sale now at The Bookworm from 9am until 9pm)

Michel Faber is a best-selling literary master of the unsettling and unexpected. His stylistic virtuosity sets him apart, no two of his books are the same: each an unclassifiable blend of science fiction, horror, thriller, historical fiction, ghostliness and satire on modern life. From the Victorian back-alleys and prostitution of The Crimson Petal and the White to the spine-tingling hitchhiking horror of Under the Skin. Possessing a dark humour, graceful touch and vivid imagination, Faber speaks on his diverse body of work and his compulsion to write. Moderated by Paul French, author of Fat China and Through the Looking Glass.
