We're so excited to welcome Adelle Stripe to Blackwell's in partnership with the University of Manchester's Centre for New Writing to hear her discuss her wonderful new book, BASE NOTES: The Scents of a Life.  Doors: 6.30pm, starts: 6.45pm Tickets are £4. Admission is free when purchasing a copy the book. About the book: A bedroom dreamer with a headful of Warhol, Adelle Stripe's formative years were ones of daytime drinking and religious fervour, frustrated mothers and reckless daughters, desire, ambition and the pursuit of creativity. Told through a prism of vintage perfumes, and played out in vivid detail with startling clarity and colour, Base Notes chronicles an unbridled Northern England of the late 20th century already fading from view.
With a keen eye for the absurd, an ear cocked to eavesdropped conversations and a nose that finds perfume wherever it goes, this tragicomic tale of working-class womanhood is no clichéd story of redemption or escape, but instead a bleakly funny yet unflinching memoir of dead-end jobs, lost weekends, brief encounters and those wild, forgotten characters who slip through the cracks.
Infused with acerbic observations and unexpected poignancy, Base Notes sees Adelle Stripe boldly laying her lived experience on the page, creating literature from a life less ordinary. About the author: Born in 1976, Adelle Stripe grew up in Tadcaster, North Yorkshire and worked a variety of dead-end jobs until enrolling at university as a creative writing student at the age of 30. Originally a poet, she published her first three collections as chapbooks, and wrote short stories for small press journals and literary magazines. Her debut novel, Black Teeth and a Brilliant Smile, was based on the life and work of Bradford playwright Andrea Dunbar. First published by Wrecking Ball Press, it was later acquired by Fleet (Little, Brown). Black Teeth was shortlisted for the Gordon Burn Prize and Portico Prize for Literature.  In 2022, her account of the controversial Irish/Algerian punk band, Fat White Family, was published by White Rabbit. Ten Thousand Apologies tells the band’s story in an innovative novelistic method. It was a Sunday Times bestseller, and a Rough Trade book of the year. The biography was shortlisted for the prestigious Penderyn Music Book Prize. Adelle Stripe holds a PhD by Research in creative writing and is a Burgess Fellow at the University of Manchester. As a journalist, she has written for The Quietus, Yorkshire Post, New Statesman and many more. Tickets are £4.00. Admission is free when purchasing a copy the book. If you cannot make the event but would like a dedicated copy of a book, please email events.manchester@blackwell.co.uk or call us on 0161 274 3331. Our event format is usually a 45 minute discussion between the author and interviewer, followed by a chance for audience members to ask questions. There will be the opportunity to get your book signed/dedicated after the event. Events are a brilliant opportunity to discover new books, meet authors and likeminded readers and learn something new. Support your local bookshop and help us keep the Manchester literary scene vibrant and exciting. You can follow us on Eventbrite and social media (@BlackwellsMCR) to keep up to date on upcoming events.

Blackwell書店

珍珍吖头

算是牛津大學歷史最悠久的書店，外觀不起眼而裏面卻十分寬敞，布置也很有英倫范兒，當然最熱門的就是《哈利波特》系列、牛津古英語教授約翰&middot;托爾金的《指環王》系列、牛津教授C.S劉易斯的《納尼亞傳奇》

嘆息橋（英國牛津大學）正式名稱為赫特福德（Hertford）橋，是牛津大學的一個著名景點，嘆息橋始建於1913年（1914年完工），它跨過新學院路連接了赫特福德學院的新舊兩個部分，是牛津大學的一個著名景點，由托馬斯傑克遜爵士（Sir TomasJackson）設計，由於此橋形似意大利威尼斯的嘆息橋故被稱為嘆息橋。跟着旅遊團來到牛津大學，只能夠走馬觀花看了一下。

牛津大學博多利圖書館(Bodleian Library - University of Oxford)是牛津大學的總圖書館，是歐洲最古老的圖書館之一（1602年開放），也是英國規模僅次於大英圖書館的第二大圖書館。這裡是英國的6個法定圖書館之一。所有的牛津出版品在出版時都會自動送一份到此珍藏。圖書館下設有眾多分館，其中Radcliffe Camera分館己經成為牛津大學的重要地標，有很多圖書在這裡存放，不是牛津大學的學生也可入內参觀。博多利圖書館由一組不同歷史時期、不同風格的建築群構成，據說各樓之間有地下通道連接。
