Event Details

Aren’t you just SICK of gay fiction about nice boys just trying their best? BOREDof 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 antidoteto 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 powerof 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 authoritarianismand a genuine rupture in the healthy sexual order of things, CHUBZ and RED TORYremain the sleeper hits of our time, quietly seeding disquiet and insurrection into theover-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 conversationwith the esteemed political-cultural powerhouse Juliet Jacques, to discuss these arse-warping,mind-bending SATIRES FOR OUR TIME. Run, don’t walk!
