HOUSING READING SERIES: HUW LEMMEY IN CONVERSATION WITH JULIET JACQUES
Huw Lemmey in conversation with Juliet Jacques at Housmans for a launch and discussion of two provocative queer political novels
@ Aren’t you just SICK of gay fiction about nice boys just trying their best? BORED of the sort of cosy political satire that makes Alistair Campbell chuckle?
FINALLY! After years of waiting, Huw Lemmey’s cult classics are back in print: CHUBZ: The Demonization of My Working Arse and RED TORY: My Corbyn Chemsex Hell, two novels of terrifying predictive force and eye-watering sexual potency, an antidote to the grimly worthy bourgeois queer novels and tedious political fiction of our time.
Lemmey’s novels depict the loopy political world of the past decade with the power of a vicious Cassandra, imagining a world of Brexit and Trump, PM’s Boris and Nigel, years before they came to pass. Set within a London gripped between authoritarianism and a genuine rupture in the healthy sexual order of things, CHUBZ and RED TORY remain the sleeper hits of our time, quietly seeding disquiet and insurrection into the over-stimulated lizard brain and under-stimulated rectal ampulla of the GREAT British Public.
Obscene? Potentially. Criminal? Maybe. Sick? Probably. But worth buying? UNDENIABLY!
Join the author live and in full fleshy personhood at Housmans, in conversation with the esteemed political-cultural powerhouse Juliet Jacques, to discuss these arse-warping, mind-bending satires for our time.
