- **Event Description**: Marlon James comes to St James's Piccadilly with Foyles to discuss his newest novel 'The Disappearers' with Jason Okundaye.About this EventThe Disappearers is Marlon James’s triumphant return to the Jamaica of A Brief History of Seven Killings – a place of heat and chaos, and of danger for anyone outside the heteronormal.So when eight gay men meet for the first time, in Kingston in 1988, answering the casting call for an openly queer play, they are already taking a big risk. But that is nothing compared to what rains down on them when a mob descends on one of their rehearsals.Epic and intimate, violent and forgiving,The Disappearers is a tour de force which only Marlon James could have written – both an unflinching portrait of the hatred and shame faced by gay men in a society which refuses to accept them, and a deeply human story of acceptance and insight.Marlon James is the author of the Booker Prize-winningA Brief History of Seven Killings; the National Book Award finalistBlack Leopard, Red Wolf; theNew York Times-bestsellingMoon Witch, Spider King;The Book of Night Women; andJohn Crow’s Devil. In addition to the Booker Prize, his novels have won the American Book Award, the Los Angeles Times’ Ray Bradbury Prize for Science Fiction, the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award, and the Dayton Literary Peace Prize. Born in Jamaica, James lives in New York City.Jason Okundaye is the author of Revolutionary Acts and a journalist at the Guardian.Tickets: £15 General Admission / £30 Book and Ticket, inc. a copy of The Disappearers (RRP £20)Venue: St James's Piccadilly, 197 Piccadilly, London, W1J 9LL*Please note that the St James's Piccadilly is fully accessible, but please let us know if you will require extra assistance on the day so we can ensure staff are available to provide it
