Luke Kennard and Will Eaves: Black Bag

In an audacious new take on the campus novel Luke Kennard’s protagonist, a penniless out-of-work actor, takes on a job unlike any other. He is hired to sit silently at the back of a lecture hall, concealed within a black bag. Black Bag hilariously examines modern masculinity, romance, identity and much else besides.

‘Such a smart and philosophical novel really has no business being this entertaining’ writes Anna Metcalfe, ‘Black Bag is hilarious, profound, tender and deranged. A deeply cathartic read for anyone seeking the funny side of the total decimation of the arts.’

Luke Kennard was in conversation with fellow poet and novelist Will Eaves, author of Murmur.
