Now published for the very first time, Through the Billboard Promised Land Without Ever Stopping (House Sparrow Press) is Derek Jarman’s only piece of narrative fiction. Somewhere between a fairytale, acid trip and road movie, the work lays the foundations for many of the themes and styles that characterise Jarman’s work in film, painting and design.
So Mayer, author of A Nazi Word for a Nazi Thing (Peninsula), was joined by writer Philip Hoare, Jarman scholar Declan Wiffen and artist Michael Ginsborg.
