In Time Which Made a Monkey of Us All
by Grace Payley
Presented by Elizabeth Urban
Wednesday 15 February
07:30 pm to 09:00 pm
at Waterstones, Piccadilly
Grace Paley‘s quirky, boisterous characters and rich use of language have won her readers’ hearts and secured her place as one of America’s most accomplished short story writers. Her stories are united by her signature interweaving of personal and political truths, her extraordinary capacity for empathy and her pointed depiction of the small and large events that make up daily life.
Elizabeth Urban is a training analyst with the SAP and a member of the Association of Child Psychotherapists. Her clinical experience has included all age groups, although over time she has specialised in parent-infant research, and has worked in the community with parents and their babies and an in-patient perinatal mental health unit. Currently she is in private practice with adults and supervises trainees.

April, Monday, 18th, 25th, 9th and May, Monday, 16th and 23rd
“Losing personality, one lost the fret, the hurry, the stir; and there rose to her lips always some exclamation of triumph over life when things came together in this peace, this rest, this eternity; and pausing there she looked out to meet that stroke of the Lighthouse, the long steady stroke, the last of the three, which was her stroke…” (To the Lighthouse, p.70)
Toby Brothers conceived of, developed and leads the Literary Salon in London and Paris. Her experience includes teaching literary seminars in areas that range from creative writing to women’s literature and film, world religions and wisdom traditions, African American Literature to Shakespeare for adults, secondary and primary school students.
