On June 1st Serpent's Tail publishers are re-issuing Neil Bartlett's classic novel Ready To Catch Him Should He Fall, and to mark the occasion Neil will be appearing at Gay's the Word for an intimate reading of this acclaimed book, first published seventeen years ago. Come join us and raise a glass to Boy and 'O'. Ready To Catch Him Should He Fall It is 3am in The City, and in a dark corner of The Bar, two lovers collide in the beginnings of a passionate and violent affair. Boy: nineteen, beautiful, ready for anyone to take him home, and 'O': the Older Man, cynical, unpredictable, and at the mercy of his personal demons. Their romance is orchestrated and observed by the owner of The Bar, Madame, who looks after her boys and ensures that their haven remains inviolate. At once a joyful celebration of homosexual love and culture, and a devastating evocation of the homophobic climate which stemmed from the 80s AIDS crisis, Ready to Catch Him Should He Fall offers a decisively contemporary recasting of the traditional love story. First published in 1990 and immediately acclaimed as the work of a bold new voice in English fiction, Neil Bartlett's powerful debut continues to shine with an ageless wisdom and wit. About the Author: http://www.neil-bartlett.com/biography.php Event details A Free event with complimentary refreshments courtesy of Serpent's Tail. Please RSVP on Facebook so we have a sense of numbers.
