cqaf | will self

Subtext is a spoken word and music night that enlivens Belfast on a sporadic basis. The aim is to combine prose and poetry with a rock and roll attitude. The Subtext special for the Cathedral Quarter event will feature a unique guest: writer, journalist and folk devil, Will Self. Local writers will include Colin Carberry, Leontia Flynn, Gavin Carville and Marty Neill. Music and visuals from Maersk.

Will Self is one of Britain’s leading novelists, whose coruscating , mordant and blackly comic vision has earned him countless accolades since his first novel The Quantity Theory of Insanity.

For the Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival, Will will talk about his work and read from his latest book ‘How the Dead Live’, a characteristically acerbic yet penetrating critique of the human condition.

‘You’ll laugh and flinch at the same time’. The Guardian
