London on 18 Feb - 18:30 to 20:00
Michael Arditti has been described by Philip Pullman as Our best chronicler of the rewards and pitfalls of present day faith and by the Spectator as a Graham Greene for our time. He has written nine highly acclaimed novels, including The Celibate, Easter, Unity, The Enemy of the Good and The Breath of Night, and a collection of short stories. Several of his books explore the connection between spirituality and sexuality, in particular gay sexuality, and the conflict between liberalism and fundamentalism. Arditti will read from and discuss his work, including his work-in-progress, Of Men and Angels, an exploration of the myth of Sodom, from 6th century BC Babylon to 20th century New York.
