Holding Still for as Long as Possible

You never know what just you’re going to find when you arrive at ‘the scene’. A floating sense of anxiety is a constant. The day is a steady stream of prescription pills. And the most private of moments are invariably played out in public. What’s the difference between being a paramedic and being twenty-something these days? At the launch of her remarkable new novel, Holding Still for as Long as Possible (House Of Anansi), Zoe Whittall will discuss such topical existential riddles with celebrated writer Lisa Foad. Paramedic Morgan Jones Phillips will shed some light on the matter by performing a selection from his award-winning solo Summerworks’ show, The Emergency Monologues. Don’t touch that dial: a special musical guest will be announced shortly.
