Book Slam is the best place to go for an awesome night of words and music. Tonight, Laura Lippman will be giving a sneak preview of her new novel After I'm Gone. It's about a wife, three daughters and a mistress. Scandalous. She's joined by Lauren Beukes who'll be reading from The Shining Girls. Plus, even more literary loveliness from Fiona Bevan and straight-talking poet Jess Green. Over 18s only. Your ticket includes a copy of the second Book Slam Annual worth £20. Latecomers may not be admitted.
