DESCRIPTION:Manchester Literature Festival is excited to welcome Douglas 
 Stuart\, Booker Prize-winning author of Shuggie Bain\, to launch his eag
 erly anticipated new novel. Set in Glasgow in the 1990s\, Young Mungo is
  the deeply moving story of the dangerous first love of two young men an
 d their dream to escape the hyper-masculine and violently sectarian worl
 d of the city’s housing estates. Written with the same warmth\, dark hum
 our and compassion as Douglas’s debut\, Young Mungo is a gripping and po
 werful novel about the push and pull of family\, the painful traps of po
 verty\, addiction and inequality\, the dangers of being different\, the 
 violence faced by so many queer people\, and the resilience of the human
  spirit. \n\nDoulas Stuart was born and raised in Glasgow. He is current
 ly working on the script for the Television adaptation of Shuggie Bain\,
  to be directed by Stephen Daldry. He will be in conversation with MLF P
 atron\, poet and fellow Glaswegian Jackie Kay. The event is presented in
  partnership with the Centre for New Writing\, Creative Manchester and W
 aterstones Deansgate.\n\nTicket & a copy of Young Mungo £26 / Tickets £1
 2 / Under 35s £10\n\nBooking link: https://contactmcr.com/shows/douglas-
 stuart-in-conversation-with-jackie-kay/\n\n“Few novels are as gutsy and 
 gut-wrenching as Young Mungo in its depiction of a teenage boy who finds
  love amid family dysfunction\, community conflict and the truly terribl
 e predations of adults. Vividly realised and emotionally intense\, this 
 scorching novel is an urgent addition to the new canon of unsung stories
 .” - Bernardine Evaristo\n\nPlease note – this event will be at Full Cap
