WHITE RABBIT LIVE PRESENTS STRANGERS ON THE SHORE

Join us at The Social to celebrate the return of legendary Soho barfly (and writer), Michael Smith for a night celebrating his first book in thirteen years since Unreal City, his collaboration with Andrew Weatherall. A book about what it is like to live on the margins, sliding into a precarious middle age in turbulent times, both giving up and starting a-new, Strangers on the Shore is deeply and unashamedly romantic, whilst also angry about the dystopian Britain we’ve sleepwalked into. Revered by Andrew Weatherall as ‘the acid house Montaigne’ and The Idler as ‘Rimbauld on the dole,’ Michael Smith has written an endlessly moving book of transcendent beauty about fathers and songs and the pleasures of an introspective life.

Michael will be interviewed by Lias Saoudi and there will be a reading by Richard Milward. There will also be a screening of the legendary underground classic film, CAN HOUSE, with Michael collaborated on with Maxy Bianco, followed by a QnA.
