Join us for a conversation with DBC Pierre, the Man Booker Prize-winning author of ‘Vernon God Little’. His new novel, ‘Meanwhile in Dopamine City’ is a humane and deeply empathetic starburst of a satire. Both moving and entertaining it works as an exaggeration of the fearful nightmare of trying to raise a child right now.

The story is one of a father, a daughter and a devious device. It’s a speed-ball, starburst of a satire and a freewheeling work of the human imagination. It’s about love and loss: a riotous cry for soul and flesh and heart in the cooling bathwater of our automatic times.
