Club member, Guy Walker, will be introducing and talking about his book - 'Gulliver's New Travels' in which Jonathan Swift's Lemuel Gulliver collides and wrestles with four different aspects of the the 21st century on four different islands. The book is written in the elegant Augustan prose of the 18^th century so that an unwary literary sleuth might be tricked into believing it is a newly discovered satirical Swift manuscript, especially as the stories fit seamlessly within Swift's original 'Travels'.  Q&A afterwards
