About this Event:

Political philosopher and author John Gray champions the work of 20th-century poet, lecturer, popular philosopher and novelist John Cowper Powys. The literary quarterly Slightly Foxed aims to revive interest in forgotten books and authors and Gray was commissioned to write about Cowper Powys for the spring issue.
John Gray is emeritus professor of European thought at the London School of Economics. He now writes full time, is the author of Straw Dogs: Thoughts on Humans and Other Animals, The Immortalization Commission: The Strange Quest to Cheat Death and many other books, and is one of Britain’s most talked-about thinkers and philosophers.
