David Goldblatt: Injury Time Book Launch
With Gloucester Road Books
We're teaming up once more with our neighbours, Gloucester Road Books, to bring you David Goldblatt's essential new book, Injury Time: Football in a State of Emergency.
Injury Time is a sharp and thought-provoking look at contemporary British society through the lens of football; a society shaken by years of economic, political and social turmoil.
Set against the backdrop of Brexit, Covid, the climate crisis, economic decline and extreme political convulsions, Goldblatt argues that football provides an unmatched vantage point for understanding the state of the nation. From grassroots clubs battling for survival to the rise and fall of Russian oligarchs, the game’s tragedies and triumphs reflect the larger shifts shaping Britain.
Doors at 6.30pm, Event starts at 7pm.
