Manchester: New Authors at the Portico Library

Dialogue Books shines a spotlight on stories for, about and by readers from the LGBTQI+, disability, working class and BAME communities. The imprint has a clear focus of distinctive, cross-genre titles that spark a conversation across fiction, non-fiction, commercial and literary publishing.

Part of a unique tour, Dialogue Books will be bringing three fantastic authors to visit The Portico Library. Alex Allison , author of The Art of the Body, Okechukwu Nzelu author of The Private Joys of Nnenna Maloney and Ben Halls, author of The Quarry, come together to discuss their stunning new novels, how their work challenges the preconceptions around their themes and the political choices involved when writing. The conversation will cover the novels’ themes, the contemporary world and the authors’ craft.
