Join CAMPLE LINE Book Group and Mark Zygadlo on Thursday 5 May at 7pm for this informal opportunity to hear Mark read a few short passages from his memoir Lying Down With Dogs: A Personal Portrait of a Polish Exile, published in 2001.

Especially resonant in the context of the war in Ukraine, Lying Down With Dogs describes a journey that Mark took with his father back to Poland in the 1980s towards the end of his life. As Mark has said: ‘this book is an exercise in memory and imagination. Hung upon the framework of our journey are his memories of flight from the invaders, capture by the Red Army and escape to Hungary, and also an account of my own later journey to Ukraine.’

Mark will select a few short passages and there will be a chance for questions and conversation.
