Join Jane Flett to celebrate the publication of her second novel, Welcome to the Chaoskampf. Following a sold-out Berlin launch, we’re delighted to host a second reading.

As well as readings from the novel, Jane will be in conversation with Sarah Van Bonn, discussing the slippery nature of cults, the urge to escape one’s life, and the purpose of writing climate dystopias in a world already on fire.
