We are really excited to host an event for debut author Jack Charles, for an evening where he'll be discussing his new thriller 'Barley Sugar'.Doors will open at 6.30pm and the talk shall commence at 7pm. This will be followed with an audience Q&A and will conclude with a signing.
About the author: Born in 1981 and a teen during the 90’s, early literary influences included Irvine Welsh’s Trainspotting, and London Fields, by Martin Amis. Dropping out of school before taking his exams, Jack bounced around, working menial jobs, expressing himself by creating poetry, music and stories. Inspired by his community, he developed a strong working-class voice, a tone which is prevalent throughout his work.
Jack’s writing opts to explore the souls and sentiments of outlaws and outsiders, examining the mentality of characters on the fringe of society, in the hope that, from their vantage point, his stories can offer a wider perspective of the culture as a whole.
