| Overcoming vertigo and countless injuries, Alain Robert, the real Spiderman, has written With Bare Hands, an autobiography.
Robert has scaled 70-plus skyscrapers, including the Petronas Towers (in Malaysia), Taipei 101 (Taiwan), the Sears Tower (Chicago) and Canary Wharf (London). Reward and punishment have flowed in equal measure. The flamboyant Frenchman has gained international fame and raised money for charity, but also been arrested, beaten and prosecuted.
From 12:30 to 2 p.m. on April 14, this unusual author will appear at the Bookazine store in the Prince’s Building, Central, Hong Kong. Admission is free, but readers wishing to attend should RSVP to the store: enquiries@bookazine.com.hk.
