Philip Hoare & Olivia Laing: William Blake and The Sea Monsters of Love

In William Blake and The Sea Monsters of Love (londonreviewbookshop.co.uk/stock/william-blake…) (4th Estate) – ‘an impassioned magnum opus celebrating Blake’s star-shaken genius by discovering his lineage everywhere in the author’s own crystal cabinet of artists and outlaws,’ in the words of Iain Sinclair – Philip Hoare pays brilliant and digressive tribute to the maverick poet and artist and his abiding influence.

Hoare, author of the classic Leviathan (londonreviewbookshop.co.uk/stock/leviathan-phi…)and Albert and the Whale (londonreviewbookshop.co.uk/stock/albert-the-wh…), was joined in conversation by novelist and essayist Olivia Laing.
