SUMMARY:An Evening with Marianne Brooker: Intervals
DESCRIPTION:We’re delighted to welcome Marianne Brooker at House of Books & Friends on Tuesday 26th March to discuss her new book\, Intervals\, published by Fitzcarraldo. The event will take start at 6pm\, and will include a conversation with Marianne Brooker and a Q&A\, before an opportunity to get your books signed. \nIn this moving blend of memoir\, literary essay\, and feminist polemic\, Brooker raises essential questions about choice and interdependence and\, ultimately\, to imagine care otherwise. Intervals is an intimate exploration of how the personal is the political and an expansive study of what it means to care for another. Intervals has just been longlisted for the Women’s Prize for Non-Fiction 2024. \nTickets \nBook and ticket – £10.99  \nTicket only – £5  \nAs always\, we have a limited amount of complimentary tickets for this event for anyone who needs it. Please contact us directly at bookworms@houseofbooksandfriends.com or call 07597365380. \nAbout the book \nIn 2009\, with her forties and a harsh wave of austerity on the horizon\, Marianne Brooker’s mother was diagnosed with primary progressive multiple sclerosis. She made a workshop of herself and her surroundings\, combining creativity and activism in inventive ways. Determined to die in her own home\, on her own terms\, she stopped eating and drinking in 2019. In Intervals\, Brooker reckons with heartbreak\, weaving her first and final memories with a study of doulas\, living wills and the precarious economics of social\, hospice and funeral care. \nAbout the author \nMarianne Brooker is based in Bristol\, where she works for a charity campaigning on climate and social justice. She has a PhD from Birkbeck and a background in arts research and teaching. She won the 2022 Fitzcarraldo Essay Prize for Intervals\, her first book.
