Join us for a special event with authors Yoav Avni and Jack Davies to celebrate the publication of their new novels, Time Clocks and Jove Together, they will look at how fiction uses realism, mystery, suspense, time travel, espionage, memory, and humor to move between the strange and the intimate. Their conversation will ask what happens when stories cross borders of time, place, culture, and form – and when the past keeps pressing against the present. At heart, both novels are about people trying to make sense of a bewildering world. Come for the stories. Stay for the conversation. Leave with the sense that even the strangest plots are, in the end, about us. About Yoav Avni Israeli author, editor, and translator, winner of the Geffen Award and author of nine acclaimed novels published in Israel. His latest novel, Time Clocks , forthcoming in English from Roundfire Books in September 2026, blends time travel, mystery, AI, humour, and magical realism in a story about three strangers from different eras who appear beside a man whose own life has just fallen apart. About Jack Davies London-based writer of short fiction, poetry, novels, and screenplays, and an award-winning film director. His novel Jove , published by Roundfire Books in June 2026, is a tense spy thriller in which a retired secret service agent becomes a detective after his daughter’s death, uncovering secrets that stretch from personal grief to Britain’s colonial past and the hidden machinery of espionage.
