We loved having Hollie McNish at Festival of Debate this year - here's Hollie reading a poem from her new book Lobster at her Festival of Debate gig 👇

I wrote about Baldwin's knotty relationship with Hollywood and his incredible memoir/criticism in The Devil Finds Work which is the inspiration for a new cinema season at the Barbican theguardian.com/film/2024/apr/…

My apologies for any inconvenience caused, but flu means I can't make my event at Festival of Debate in Sheffield this evening. It's being rescheduled for Friday June 7th 🙏🏾

🚨 Due to illness, Sathnam Sanghera has had to pull out of our event this evening. The event has been rescheduled to the 7th June at The Workstation, so please drop us an email if you can't make that date to request a refund. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

This looks amazing. Thanks Clive Nwonka
One of my favourite of Baldwins is The Devil Finds Work. Really wish these events would tour.

'Why was this cinephile spurned by Hollywood?' Great piece by Lanre Bakare on James Baldwin's love of cinema, rejection by Hollywood and his film criticism that inspired my new Barbican Centre film season 'The Devil Finds Work: James Baldwin Through Film':theguardian.com/film/2024/apr/…

Looking forward to 7th June where I’ll be chatting to Sathnam about tea, politics and ganja. #empireworld .

Big thanks to Kadish for this write up about my upcoming book #TrackRecord 😁 theguardian.com/culture/2024/a…
