On September 24, join us in welcoming Nick Holdstock as he reads from and discuses his novel "The Casualties."
Samuel Clark likes secrets. He wants to know the hidden stories of the bizarre characters on the little streets of Edinburgh, Scotland. He wants to know about a nymphomaniac, a man who lives under a bridge, a girl with a cracked face. He wants to uncover their histories because he has secrets of his own. He believes, as people do, that he is able to change. He believes, as the whole world does, that there is plenty of time to solve his problems. But Samuel Clark and the rest of the world are wrong. Change and tragedy are going to scream into his and everyone’s lives. It will be a great transformation, a radical change; and it just might be worth the cost.
Nick Holdstock is the author of The Casualties (2015), a novel, and two books of non fiction, The Tree That Bleeds (2011) and China's Forgotten People (2015). His short stories and journalism have appeared in the London Review of Books, Vice, The LA Review of Books, n+1, The Independent, The Dublin Review, Dissent and The Southern Review.
