The guest at tonight’s BSFA London Meeting is John Clute, who will be interviewed by journalist Andrew McKie.
As usual, the venue is the upstairs room of The Antelope, 22 Eaton Terrace, London, SW1W 8EZ. The closest tube station is Sloane Square, and a map is here.
The meeting is free (although there will be a raffle), and any and all are welcome. The interview will start at 7pm, although there’ll be people in the bar from 6 onwards.

Doubtless you’ve heard this Niall, but The Clute singled you out (along with Farah and Graham — trippled you out? — as critics he admires).
Yes, I’d heard. Obviously it’s flattering, but I can think of a dozen people I’d say are better at this than me without even blinking …
It did make me think about something else though, who are the new young American critics?
Amelia Beamer, Karen, Richard?
Jonathan, I thought we had a pact never to tell Niall that!
It wouldn’t have done any good; my spy at the meeting texted me about it almost as soon as it was said.
