We’re so excited to welcome Michael Pedersen and Kae Tempest to the bookshop for a conversation on friendship and connection. Michael and Kae’s latest books (Boy Friends and On Connection) are published by Faber & Faber and both writers worked with the same wonderful editor, Alexa von Hirschberg.
Kae Tempest on Boy Friends: ‘Michael writes with true sensitivity and power. His words burrow down to the core of it all while at the same time offering the soaring perspective of the poet-soul. Deeply felt, carefully crafted, his language firing with pace and wit. A master of words. He plays them like music.’
Michael Pedersen on Kae Tempest: ‘Kae is one of the most vital writers of our generation — sapient, stirring, spiritual, sensational. They write with a trenchant tenderness and a heartfelt desire to love and learn. The words, like the human behind them, truly coruscate.’
