Yomi Adegoke: Love in the Age of Social Media
Sorry, this event has sold out
The most sensational debut of 2023! Vogue and Guardian columnist Yomi Adegoke’s debut novel The List (soon to be a major TV series) is a witty and provocative tale of modern relationships in the age of social media and MeToo activism.
Ola Olajide, journalist at Womxxxn magazine, and her fiancé are the perfect couple. But when The List appears – a crowdsourced set of online allegations – uncomfortable questions are raised.
Coco Khan, Guardian columnist and co-host (with Nish Kumar) of the political comedy podcast, Pod Save the UK will discuss love in the age of social media with Yomi.
