review

Local author Guy Ware discusses The Peckham Experiment and his eponymous novel with Jack Czauderna, Chair of the Pioneer Health Foundation

Review

W﻿e&#x27;re very excited to have Guy Ware here on Dec 1st to come to talk to us about his new novel The Peckham Experiment, and to discuss the history and legacy of The Peckham Experiment itself with Jack Czauderna, Chair of the Pioneer Health Foundation.The Peckham Experiment is the story of Charlie and JJ - identical twins and working class children of the 1930s utopian health initiative, the Peckham Experiment - who come of age after the war committed to building the New Jerusalem. It is set in June 2017 - the night before the general election and a week before the Grenfell disaster - when JJ has died and the 85 year-old Charlie, living in the now redeveloped home of the original Experiment, tries to make sense of their lives. It’s about idealism and corruption - moral, political and financial - about local government, housing and gentrification, about sexuality, love and lust, about class and family loyalty. And of course, it’s about Peckham. W﻿e love local books, local histories, local stories, local people - and this book is woven with exactly that fabric. If you&#x27;re at all interested in what it means to be invested in your area, and specifically in Peckham, this is the book and the event for you!A﻿s ever, there&#x27;ll be wine, and hopefully some local beers, to enjoy whilst the evening&#x27;s discussion is in sway.T﻿ickets are £5 redeemable against a copy of The Peckham Experiment on the nightS﻿ee you there!
