Paris-based Canadian poet and novelist Lisa Robertson discusses her latest work, Riverwork, which traces the hidden history of the Bièvre River—once integral to Paris's textile industry, now buried beneath the city streets. The novel follows Lucy Frost, an insomniac cleaner investigating a web of urban disappearances centred on this vanished waterway.
Robertson is joined in conversation by author Iain Sinclair, whose own work similarly excavates forgotten urban histories. An ideal event for readers interested in experimental literature, urban archaeology, and the intersection of history and fiction.
