“The imagination … is central to the cultural production of revolutionary movements”
(Lola Olufemi)
Is art a reason to hope when authoritarianism looms? Can a novel actually change anything? How is fiction different from post-truth? These and other questions will be asked and answered as Sarah Colvin introduces her new book Literature and Epistemic Injustice: Power and Resistance in the Contemporary Novel (Routledge) and a range of contemporary novels from around the world. All welcome.
