Housmans are delighted to welcome Simon Critchley to the shop to discuss a new volume of essays, ‘Your Life Is Not a (Fucking) Story‘ published by everyday analysis. In this collection of his recent articles, Critchley – one of the most important living philosophers – takes us through his reflections on death, questions of doubt and reason, the legacy of David Bowie, the nature of fear and empathy in a broken society and a critique of narrative identity – among other things. Your Life Is Not a Story explores the contemporary world and its psychological impact on us, offering us a way to see our situation different and resist its tricks and contrivances.

Doors open at 6:45, event starts 7:00.
