Carlos Acosta at the Bloomsbury Institute

December 5, 2013 @ 6:00 pm

| £30

Join us for a special Book Club event with Carlos Acosta, author of Pig’s Foot, at the Bloomsbury Institute.

International ballet dancer Carlos Acosta and his editor Bill Swainson discuss Pig’s Foot. Selected as one of The Waterstones Eleven for the best fiction debuts of 2013, Carlos Acosta’s Pig’s Foot is a dazzling novel of revolution, family secrets, love and identity across four generations. Full of dark comedy, magical history and startling revelations, Pig’s Foot is a dazzling evocation of Cuba’s tumultuous history.

Oscar Kortico, great-grandchild of the founders of a small hamlet of wooden shacks and red earth deep in the Cuban hinterland, is a sardonic teller of tales – some taller than others – of slavery, revolution, family secrets and love.
