Top SF writer Ken MacLeod drops us a line to let us know Edinburgh’s Writer’s Bloc spoken word performance group, which includes a number of very fine SF writers among its numbers, will be meeting this week; from the description:
“Writers’ Bloc is proud to present a night of literary mayhem featuring original fiction that gives the double helix an extra twist; ESRC Genomics Policy and Research Forum Writers in Residence Ken MacLeod and Pippa Goldschmidt will be special guest performers for the evening. The show will also feature new fiction by Writers’ Bloc stalwarts including Jack Deighton, Gavin Inglis, Stefan Pearson and Andrew J. Wilson.
Expect genetically modified footballers, an investigation of whether death is an acquired trait and something that can only be described as Gattaca for neds… Writers’ Bloc is Edinburgh’s premier spoken-word performance group. Its members include published and prize-winning poets and novelists, who present original material with attitude.”
The Mutant Scum! evening takes place in the Pleasance Cabaret Bar, Edinburgh, from 7.45pm on Thursday July 2nd, check the site for more details.
