The writer of a book on 100 years of drug prohibition will appear in Smock Alley Theatre next week as part of the International Literature Festival Dublin.
Johann Hari - an award-winning columnist for The Independent before a plagiarism storm forced his resignation - has just delivered Chasing The Scream, an account of his extraordinary journey tracing a century of the war on drugs. From exploring the American roots of prohibition to visiting injection sites in countries with an alternative approach, it's an engrossing and eye-opening read.
Hari will visit Smock Alley Theatre next Monday, May 18; tickets, priced at €12 and €10, are available now.
