Our speaker on Thursday 22 September is writer and poet PJ (Jem) Vanston. Jem is the author of two comic campus novels satirising the politically correct and woke university. He will read some extracts from his work and discuss the difficulties of writing satire in a climate dominated by a humourless cancel culture.

Jem’s two campus novels are Crump (2010) and Somewhere in Europe (2020). He is also the author of A Cat Called Dog and the very popular Santa Goes on Strike. His personal website has details of all his works.

Date, Time and Venue: Thursday 22 Spetember at & PM in the Parlour of The Brunswick Inn, Derby.
