London Classics: Rediscovering Lost London Novels

The upstairs function room at the Horse & Groom pub (Great Portland Street) · London

Both authors in their own right, John and Martin are on a mission to bring back into print a forgotten / marginalised tradition of London fiction. An imprint of their London Books independent, the London Classics series focuses on the working-class culture of the capital, social-realist works that are both vibrant and honest. Starting with “Night And The City” by Gerald Kersh and “The Gilt Kid” by James Curtis, they have released fourteen London Classics to date. Each book is reset rather than copied, released in hardback not paperback, comes with a stylish cover and an introduction by a contemporary author such as Iain Sinclair, Jonathan Meades or Cathi Unsworth. John and Martin will be talking about the maverick authors of these novels as well as the books themselves, their adventures along the way, the people they have met and the stories they have heard, touching on the changing nature of London and the conformism of mainstream publishing. Against the odds, London Books has established itself as a much-loved, highly-respected independent that flies the flag for free-thinking literature. The London Classics are the jewels in its crown. Martin Knight is an author who has...

Christopher Isherwood in Berlin, 1929-1933

The upstairs function room at the Horse & Groom pub (Great Portland Street) · London

Between 1929 and 1933, the gay English writer Christopher Isherwood lived in Berlin, a period in his life that he brilliantly captured in two of his autobiographical books, the novel “Mr Norris Changes Trains” and the short story collection, “Goodbye to Berlin”, which went on to spawn the movies, “Cabaret” and “I Am A Camera.” Through his detached, self-declared photographic narrative style, these offer an intimate, atmospheric portrait of the cabaret culture, eccentric expatriates, and decadent milieu that was about to be swept away by the Nazi takeover. “[Katherine Bucknell’s book is] a first-rate biography of the man, the writer, and the lover.” (David Hockney) Katherine Bucknell edited all four volumes of Christopher Isherwood's diaries (published by Chatto), a volume of letters between Christopher Isherwood and his partner Don Bachardy (“The Animals”), and W.H. Auden's “Juvenilia: Poems 1922-1928”. Co-editor of Auden Studies, a founder of The W. H. Auden Society, and director of the Christopher Isherwood Foundation, she is widely recognised as a leading authority on Isherwood. She is also the author of five novels. She was born in Vietnam, raised...
