Superb evening BlackwellsManchester for the launch of Joe Shute’s brilliant new book “Stowaway” published Bloomsbury Books UK. Joe was in conversation with David Cooper — much discussion of rat fear and fascination! “No animal has sacrificed more in the pursuit of human health while

I really enjoyed this conversation last night BlackwellsManchester . Hearing Sinéad Gleeson read from the opening of her wonderful book made me think of this poem by Kerry Hardie - 'The island's a hard-time woman'. In 'Hagstone' 'the headland resembles a woman from an old island myth'!

Many thanks to everyone who attended the launch of ‘Stowaway: the Disreputable Exploits of the Rat’ by Joe Shute BlackwellsManchester this evening - my eyes are peeled as I walk back through the city & think about the empathy & playfulness of rats.

absolutely fascinating talk on the history of the rat between Joe Shute and David Cooper tonight! Stowaway really is your go-to tome for rat facts and we've got signed copies in store at BlackwellsManchester! 🐀🧀

when you top up the BlackwellsManchester indie wall and all your faves are in a row like prized ducks 😅

Thanks to everyone who came to BlackwellsManchester, to David Coates red 𓆧 and brilliant host Simon Savidge. (I only bought one book, a notebook and some cards, which is serious restraint for me).

A fantastic event tonight with Sinéad Gleeson! She was discussing art, class, folklore & desire with Simon Savidge to celebrate the release of her incredible debut novel HAGSTONE. A huge thank you to Sinéad, Simon and everyone who came along. Signed copies available instore now!

art, desire, voyeurism... such a treat to listen to Sinéad Gleeson discuss her brilliant new novel with Simon Savidge tonight. added thanks for the push i needed to finally pick up Lonely City 🤓
