A event held at Bookhaus on Tuesday 29th April. The event starts at 18:00.
Humankind has been reduced to the height of a handspan
– a transformation that is both potentially lethal and exasperatingly inconvenient.
On a remote coastal path, Giles awakes in his new body to discover a world reshaped and magnified into a place of astounding abundance and deadly peril. Desperate to reconnect with his loved ones, he seeks the help of fellow survivors, and together they embark on a quest across the altered landscape. But as their journey unfolds, the more the question persists – are they still truly human, or has their reduction in size marked the beginning of a descent into savagery, an evolution into something other?
Elsewhere, one week earlier, Professor Elizabeth Goodwin makes a monumental discovery – God is alive and physically among us, but not in the form we’ve been taught to expect. As Goodwin prepares to make first contact with the omnipresent ocean-spanning creature, forces conspire in the wings, and the spectre of imminent catastrophe inches closer and closer still . . .
Mikey Please will be here to discuss his debut work of adult fiction at bookhaus. Tickets cost £6 and include a glass of wine or a soft drink and £2 off the book.
Mikey Please (born 1984) is a Bristol-based BAFTA-winning and OSCAR-nominated writer, director, animator, and illustrator.
An alumnus of the Royal College of Art (MA Animation) his music videos and short films have garnered over 60 international awards. In 2023 he was appointed as a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The Café at the edge of the Woods (Harper Collins - 2024), his critically acclaimed debut picture book, has landed on many best-book lists.
Entry requirements: no age restrictions
