Adam will be in conversation with Grant Moorhouse. Doors: 6.45pm, starts: 7:00pm, ends 8:30pm Tickets are £5. Admission is free when purchasing a copy the book 'Broken Biscuits'. About the book: In his second collection of candid personal essays, Farrer vividly recounts his struggles to live up to masculine expectations. From the calamity of his first serious relationship, an obsession with Prince that sees everyone questioning his sexuality, the repercussions of his adult circumcision and his doubts about his ability to survive the apocalypse to his morbid fear of physical combat and his brush with Satanic Panic in 1980s rural Suffolk, this is a book about growing up, trying to define yourself as a man but somehow always missing the mark. About the author: Adam Farrer is a writer, a lecturer and the editor of the creative nonfiction journal The Real Story. He has been a photo lab technician, an illustrator, a ceramicist, a musician, a music journalist and currently works at the University of Salford, where he is the Writer in Residence for Peel Park. His first book, Cold Fish Soup, won the Northbound Book Award. Tickets are £5.00. Admission is free when purchasing a copy of the book.
