Legendary Science-Fiction author Brian Aldiss will be celebrating the re-release of his mythological novel, ‘Jocasta’. In ‘Jocasta’, Aldiss brings vividly to life the ancient world of dreaming Thebes: a world of sun-drenched landscapes, golden dust, sphynxes, Furies, hermaphroditic philosophers, ghostly apparitions and ambivalent gods. Jocasta is also a strikingly effective contemplation of an older world order where the human mind is still struggling to understand itself and the nature of the world around it.
This is a launch party event.
