TALES From the City author Armistead Maupin will be reading from his new novel as part of tomorrow’s Homotopia events.
The award-winning US writer will be performing excerpts from Mary Ann in Autumn, as well as signing copies of the book.
After the intimate first-person narrative of Maupin’s last novel, Michael Tolliver Lives, it marks a return to the multi-character plotlines and darkly comic themes of his earlier work.
The event takes place at the London Carriage Works restaurant, on Hope Street, where the audience will be invited to take afternoon tea while listening to the reading.
Homotopia, Liverpool’s annual festival of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender arts and culture, is now in its seventh year with a programme of events running until the end of the month.
Also taking place tomorrow is a talk by activist Peter Tatchell, Not Queer Enough, also part of the Writing on the Wall festival’s Rebel Rants series.
It takes place in the Philharmonic Hall’s Rodewald Suite, at 7.30pm.
AFTERNOON Tea with Armistead Maupin is at the London Carriage Works at 3.30pm tomorrow. Tickets £13.50, 0151 708 7270. Details on Homotopia at www.homotopia.net
