13th July: The Hub was bulging at the seams for the Launch of Angus Peter Campbell's new Booker Prize nominated book 'Memory and Straw' (Luath Press). Angus Peter, a Scottish award-winning poet, novelist, journalist, broadcaster and actor, was interviewed by Jennie Renton, of Main Point Books. Through this, and the audience questions, he gave us facinating insights into his new work's themes. This ranged from the bustle of New York to the Highlands of Scotland; the traditions, myths and taboos of our forebears and the modern world of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics; the nature of living and a quest for identity. |
