“The most subversive thing we can do is read”
Brilliant evening with the ‘pathologically ironic’ Percival Everett at Central Library: language as safety, the disarming power of humour and race as the defining theme of the American experience.
Thank you Manchester Literature Festival #CityofLit
Near sell-out crowd at Manchester Libraries for Percival Everett! Should have got here earlier to get the front. Great buzz in the room.

Yesterday’s visit was also a handover session for this autumn’s Slamovision. We have a tough act to follow on from Nottingham City of Literature’s excellent hosting in 2022 and 2023...

We are appalled that the Government is once again singling out arts & creative subjects for funding cuts in Higher Education.
Many courses have already closed and a growing number are at risk.
This attack on the arts must stop now.
