LG Thomson and Andrew Forrester discuss LG's new book Bitter Fruit for Book Week Scotland
About this Event

LG Thomson and Andrew Forrester met at art school in Dundee in 1981. This November, they will be reunited at Blackness Library where they will discuss LG's latest book, Bitter Fruit, a narrative memoir set in the 1980s in which Andrew makes several appearances.

Join LG and Andrew in conversation as they discuss the book and find out what it was like for Andrew to read about himself. LG is well known for the dark humour in her novels and memoirs, and this promises to be an entertaining and thought-provoking event. 

This event is free but booking by Eventbrite is essential. Contact Central Library on 01382 431500 if you need booking assistance.
