ROBIN INCE – NORMALLY WEIRD AND WEIRDLY NORMAL

5 July @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
£14

For over thirty years, award-winning broadcaster and comedian Robin Ince has entertained thousands in person and on air. But underneath the surface, a whirlwind was at play – a struggle with sadness, concentration, self-doubt and near-constant anxiety. But then he discovered he had all the hallmarks of ADHD and his stumbling blocks became stepping stones.

In his new book, Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal, Robin uses his own insights to explore the neurodivergent experience and to ask what the point of “being normal” really is. Packed with personal thoughts, intimate anecdotes and interviews with psychologists, neuroscientists and many neurodivergent people he has met along the way, this is a quirky and witty dive into the world of human behaviour.

Winstone’s Hunting Raven Books is thrilled to be hosting Robin Ince, broadcaster (The Infinite Monkey Cage), author (Bibliomaniac; The Importance of Being Interested) and comedian (he’s really, really funny), and one of the most heartfelt supporters of independent bookshops in the UK.
