Armistead Maupin & Jackie Kay
Two literary icons meet for a special evening of conversation.
Armistead Maupin, author of the beloved Tales of the City series, has spent five decades chronicling queer life with warmth, humour and radical honesty. Jackie Kay, acclaimed poet, novelist and former Scots Makar, has given voice to identity, belonging and the complexities of modern Scotland through her deeply resonant writing. Together, they’ll reflect on their extraordinary careers, the changes they’ve witnessed in queer representation, and the role of literature in shaping our collective imagination.
Expect sharp insights, candid reflections, and the unique chemistry of two writers who have transformed how we tell our stories.
