DESCRIPTION:‘A garden is a time capsule\, as well as a portal out of time
 .’\n\nIn her compelling new work of non-fiction The Garden Against Time\
 , Olivia Laing brings to life her own slice of paradise: the restoration
  of a garden designed by Mark Rumary of Notcutts. Alongside her own ende
 avours\, Olivia explores the idea of paradise and gardens\, real and ima
 gined\, through the work of Derek Jarman\, W.G. Sebald\, John Milton\, J
 ohn Clare\, William Morris and many others. She considers how gardens ar
 e political and how these slices of Eden survive war\, offer a place for
  rebel outposts and communal utopias\, and and bring joy during difficul
 t times.\n\nSimply one of our most exciting writers’ – The Observer. Oli
 via is a widely acclaimed author and critic. She is the author of seven 
 books including The Lonely City\, The Trip to Echo Spring\, Everybody: A
  Book About Freedom and Funny Weather: Art in an Emergency. Her first no
 vel\, Crudo\, was a Sunday Times bestseller and won the 2019 James Tait 
 Memorial Prize. In 2018 she was awarded a Windham-Campbell Prize for non
 -fiction and has written extensively about writers\, art and creativity\
 , including essays and forewords on Virginia Woolf\, David Wojnarowicz\,
  Cookie Mueller\, Chantal Joffe and Wolfgang Tillmans.\n\nPresented in p
 artnership with the Centre for New Writing and Creative Manchester.
