ROBERT NEWMAN READING & TALK
	Thursday April 28 | The John Hewitt | 8.00pm

Born in 1964, Robert Newman is Greek-Cypriot, English, French and American. He has worked as a farmhand, warehouseman, house-painter, mail sorter, social worker, mover and broadcaster. Newman has been politically active with Reclaim The Streets, the Liverpool dockers, Indymedia and People’s Global Action.

The Fountain At The Centre Of The World is Newman’s third novel, following Manners and the Betty Trask award-winning first novel Dependence Day, but the first to be published internationally. Research for the novel took him onto Welsh trawlers, into refugee detention centres and tropical disease hospitals. He also learnt Spanish and travelled extensively through Mexico and Central America.
