He also happens to be the author of this shop's favourite novel of 2011 "New Finnish Grammar". He will be talking about his newly translated novel "The Last of the Vostyachs" and his Europanto collection"Las Adventures des Inspector Cabillot"
Eighteenth-century London was awash with cheap, fiery gin: William Hogarth and Henry Fielding railed against it: politicians legislated against it: doctors blamed it for destroying the health of the nation. But what was the truth behind the epidemic of gin-fuelled depravity? Celebrate Richard Barnett's new book ...The Dedalus Book of Gin by taking a guided walk into the darker side of Enlightenment London. We'll tour the historical gin hotspots of Soho and Covent Garden, and end with a book-signing and a glass of gin at Treadwell's Bookshop, 33 Store Street, London WC1E 7BS. Join us on Saturday 30 June, 3.00 - 5.30 pm. Tickets cost £15 and include a copy of The Dedalus Book of Gin and a complimentary glass of gin, the event is supported by Hendrick's Gin. Get your tickets from Treadwell's by phoning (020) 7419 8507.
