Martin Amis

in conversation with NCF director Peter Whittle

on Wednesday April 7th at 7pm

at the Royal Society of Arts, 8 John Adam Street London WC2N 6EZ

Martin Amis, the UK's premier novelist, will be discussing feminism and the sexual revolution, the themes raised in his latest, critically praised book, The Pregnant Widow.

The year is 1970, and the youth of Europe are in the chaotic, ecstatic throes of the sexual revolution. Though blindly dedicated to the cause, its nubile foot soldiers have yet to realize this disturbing truth: that between the death of one social order and the birth of another, there exists a state of terrifying purgatory—or, as Alexander Herzen put it, a pregnant widow.

The talk will be followed by an audience Q and A. Copies of The Pregnant Widow will be on sale.
