Live stream direct from the Edinburgh International Book Festival

In conjunction with Edinburgh International Book Festival, we are delighted to present this special livestream event with Louise Welsh.

We’ve waited patiently for four years and the time’s finally come – but can our favourite queer auctioneer-turned-accidental-detective stay out of trouble? In The Cut Up, Louise Welsh – Scottish literary legend and author of cult classic The Cutting Room – takes us back into the shady world of Rilke’s Glasgow. Always fabulously entertaining, with a razor-sharp wit, Welsh chats with us today about her third foray into this gritty series. Chaired by Kirsty Logan.

Please note: this event is streamed at AK Bell Library in partnership with the Edinburgh International Book Festival.
