Michael Lewis: Blockers

October 20 at 7:30pm

At Royal Festival Hall

Belvedere Rd, SE1 8XX

From the author of The Big Short & Flash Boys
BSL interpreted & speech-to-text transcribed
Ages 15+

Michael Lewis turns bureaucratic warfare into white-knuckle storytelling. The author of The Big Short and Flash Boys unpacks Blockers, his thriller about public servants who faced down an unprecedented assault on the US government. Expect sharp insight, dark humor, and the kind of narrative velocity that makes policy feel personal.
