Saturday July 18 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Aren’t you just SICK of gay fiction about nice boys just trying their best? BORED
of the sort of cosy political satire that makes Alistair Campbell chuckle?
FINALLY! After years of waiting, Huw Lemmey’s cult classics are back in print::
CHUBZ: The Demonization of My Working Arse and RED TORY: My Corbyn Chemsex Hell,
two novels of terrifying predictive force and eye-watering sexual potency, an antidote
to the grimly worthy bourgeois queer novels and tedious political fiction of our time.
Lemmey’s novels depict the loopy political world of the past decade with the power
of a vicious Cassandra, imagining a world of Brexit and Trump, PM’s Boris and Nigel,
years before they came to pass. Set within a London gripped between authoritarianism
and a genuine rupture in the healthy sexual order of things, CHUBZ and RED TORY
remain the sleeper hits of our time, quietly seeding disquiet and insurrection into the
over-stimulated lizard brain and under-stimulated rectal ampulla of the GREAT British Public.
Obscene? Potentially. Criminal? Maybe. Sick? Probably. But worth buying? UNDENIABLY!
Join the author LIVE and IN FULL FLESHY PERSONHOOD at Housmans, in conversation
with the esteemed political-cultural powerhouse Juliet Jacques, to discuss these arse-warping,
mind-bending SATIRES FOR OUR TIME. Run, don’t walk!
This is a free event, but if you would like to reserve a copy of the book(s), you can saw so through the ticket portal
