1pm: Book signing - 'And Flowers Grew up Through the Concrete' by Laurence McKeown

Laurence McKeown survived 70 days on hunger strike in 1981. This new memoir covers his time in the H-Blocks for the period 1981–1992.

In this frank, revealing and deeply personal memoir, McKeown leads us through the development of the many prison struggles that followed the hunger strikes and the deaths of ten of his comrades.

The author speaks candidly and movingly, especially when recalling relationships with his mother and father, and how he had to come to terms with their deaths while imprisoned.

This is not just a story of prison struggle; it is a story of a communal life lived, a coming to terms with material conditions so as to better challenge those conditions. It is a story of flowers growing up through concrete.
