Join us for the launch of ‘Nova Scotia House’ by Charlie Porter, the writer’s first work of fiction.
'Nova Scotia House' takes us to the heart of a relationship, a community and an era. It is both a love story and a lament; bearing witness to the enduring pain of the AIDS pandemic and honouring the joys and creativity of queer life. Intimate, visionary, and profoundly original, it marks the debut of a vibrant new voice in contemporary fiction, and a writer with a liberating new story to tell.
Porter will be joined in conversation by Steven Grainger.
