NOISE, SIGNAL AND WORD: HOW WRITING WORKS

Tom McCarthy’s novel C set the literary world’s collective pulse racing last year and that novel’s central ideas form the basis for this new multimedia talk on what McCarthy thinks writing essentially is — or should be. It revolves around the figure of Orpheus, as this plays out in Ovid, Rilke and Cocteau, and includes clips of Cocteau’s Orpheus film, a video by Kraftwerk and plenty more besides.
