About this Event

The first novel from writer, fashion critic and curator Charlie Porter—Nova Scotia House is a powerful, intense exploration of queer life, love, grief and community. Centring around Johnny Grant and his relationship with Jerry, more than 20 years his senior, Porter has created a compelling and compassionate, soulful and searing tale of queer past, present and future.


Charlie Porter is a writer, fashion critic and curator. He has written for the Financial Times, the Guardian, The New York Times, GQ, Luncheon, i-D and Fantastic Man, and has been described as one of the most influential fashion journalists of his time. Porter co-runs the London queer rave Chapter 10, and is a trustee of the Friends of Arnold Circus, where he is also a volunteer gardener. He lives in London.


Princess Julia is a DJ, writer and a pivotal figure in London’s queer counterculture and nightlife, regularly DJing at nights such as Adonis and Feel It. A muse and inspiration to many, Julia gave crucial insights to Charlie about life in the 80s and 90s as he wrote Nova Scotia House.


The discussion will be followed by an audience Q&A and book signing. Your ticket includes a complimentary glass of wine.
