To Absent Friends Week: Rodge Glass - Joshua in the Sky
To mark To Absent Friends Week 2024, Glasgow Libraries welcome Rodge Glass to the Mitchell Library on Tuesday 5th November to discuss his memoir Joshua in the Sky.
About To Absent Friends Week: Rodge Glass - Joshua in the Sky
To Absent Friends Week (1st - 7th November) is an annual Scotland-wide festival of remembrance and story-telling which provides an opportunity to remember, to tell stories, to celebrate and to reminisce about people we love who have died.
To mark To Absent Friends Week 2024 we welcome Rodge Glass to the Mitchell Library on Tuesday 5th November to discuss his memoir Joshua in the Sky.
Rodge's nephew Joshua died the same day he was born, from a blood condition they both share. This book charts the five years around Joshua's life and death to tell the story of Rodge's attempts to make sense of this loss. Having spent a lifetime using reading and writing to both hide from and face the world, Joshua in the Sky serves as a kind of reckoning, asking the questions: whose life deserves to be remembered? And how?
