Luke Roberts, Bad Omens launch!

Please join us for the Glasgow launch of Bad Omens by Luke Roberts (Book Works, 2026)

Drawn from a decade’s worth of notebooks and journals, Bad Omens is a lyrical narrative of art and grief in a time of crisis. From London’s pollen-covered streets to wildfires in Idaho, gravesides in Paris to the Blackpool seafront, we greet a landscape of lost causes, unreasonable demands, and utopian horizons. It’s ‘the part of the century where we’re losing our grip’, and someone somewhere is owed an explanation.

With a reading by Caspar Heinemann, followed by a reading and conversation with Luke Roberts and Helen Charman, introduced by Hannah Proctor.
