An evening with the author Marlon James at St Giles' Church in Camberwell, where he discusses his latest novel. The event is presented by Lala Books and features Marlon James, the best-selling author of six books including the Booker Prize-winning A Brief History of Seven Killings. He talks about his latest novel The Disappearers, which returns to the Jamaica of A Brief History of Seven Killings. Set partly in Kingston in 1988, the novel follows eight gay men who answer a casting call for an openly queer play and face a mob attack on one of their rehearsals.
