About this Event

Don't miss David Keenan in store as he discusses his new novel, Boyhood.
A book of great joy, of laughter in the face of horror and delight in storytelling by the beloved and critically acclaimed author of This Is Memorial Device, Boyhood is a hym to the resilience of youth, to the brave dreamsof artists and lovers and a love letter to Glasgow - a city where magic happens.

"I didn't think it was possible to be this impressed, challenged and entertained by a novel. Boyhood is a complete triumph. Set in locations our art now fears to go, almost every page is stuffed with amazing ideas and vibrant characters, many dripping with sexuality and ominous menace. More than this, it slaps our dull, sterile culture hard across the face with a studded, uncompromising literary glove. We have the duty and privilege of rising up to its challenge and turning those pages. The alternative is to seriously miss out" - IRVINE WELSH
