Bookshop friend and favourite, John Grindrod returns to Bookseller Crow to discuss his latest book Tales of the Suburbs: LGBTQ+ Lives Behind Net Curtains, the twentieth century history of LGBTQ+ lives in suburbia. For one night only he will be in conversation with our writer-in-residence, Karen McLeod (who was interviewed and features in the book). After the interview, there will be a book signing. Your ticket price includes a bevvy or two!

Karen McLeod is a writer, performer and creative writing tutor and writer-in-residence at Bookseller Crow. Her debut novel, In Search of the Missing Eyelash, was published by Jonathan Cape and won the Betty Trask Award and was translated widely. Her memoir, Lifting Off (Muswell Press, June 2024) is about the years she worked, and went into free-fall, as cabin crew. She can be found treading the creaky boards at theatres, cabaret clubs and pubs as the self-appointed Poet Laureate of Penge, Barbara Brownskirt.
