Big thanks to everyone who came/listened/asked/ drank on Friday. We try not to have favourites, but is bafflingly under-appreciated, a good egg, and a seriously brilliant writer. Props also to Dan Indirect Books who flew in from LA for his imprint’s debut publication. Their next launches are Paris and New York. Very honoured Newton Road was the first. Go buy!
