About this Event
Join us during Independent Bookshop Week for an evening with award winning writer and mentor Adam Farrer as talks about his bold, witty and tender book, Broken Biscuits: And Other Male Failures.
Broken Biscuits vividly recounts Adam’s struggles to live up to masculine expectations, real or imagined. From the calamity of his first serious relationship to an obsession with Prince that sees everyone questioning his sexuality, and from the repercussions of his adult circumcision to his doubts about his ability to survive the apocalypse, this candid and personal collection of essays is astonishingly far-reaching and riotously funny.
Holding up a mirror to Adam’s own body image, his relationship with his family, his sense of self-worth and the mortifying experience of arriving at a teenage party wearing strawberry-patterned short shorts, this book is about growing up and trying to define yourself as a man but somehow always missing the mark.
Broken Biscuits was one of our Non-Fiction Books of the Month in 2025. With the book now published in paperback, we're delighted to welcome Adam to Oswestry as part of our Indpendent Bookshop Week Celebrations.
