Join Jordan Stephens in conversation with Manchester Slam Champion Griot Gabriel, on how literature, inclusivity and community can be a force for a good life in this exciting talk for Festival of Libraries.

On Jordan's book 'Avoidance, Drugs, Heartbreak and Dogs', "Unsparingly digging into the fear, tenderness and trauma he carried in his body and mind, and the confusing assumptions of what a young man should be, Jordan Stephens discovers what it means to be a young man, why we should all open ourselves up to life, and how the price we pay for love in all its forms is worth it."
