Natsume Soseki’s London: A Literary Odyssey

Natsume Soseki’s London: A Literary Odyssey


2016 marks the beginning of two years of anniversary commemorations for Natsume Soseki, the greatest literary figure of modern Japan: 2016 marks the centennial of his death in 1916; and 2017 marks the 150th anniversary of his birth in 1867. Damian Flanagan will show us the boarding houses that Soseki lived in, located in different parts of the city, and introduce us to the people that Soseki met and lived amongst. Join us for a literary odyssey round London like no other, that will make you see the capital through entirely fresh, Sosekian eyes.





Please grab a cup of coffee or tea and some snacks, and sit back, relax and enjoy the story.
