Damian Barr’s Literary Salon

Salonniere Damian Barr hosted another literary love in, this time with Patrick Gale, Newsnight’s Kirsty Walk and Tales of the City author Armistead Maupin. Listen in (parental guidance advised) to a hilarious Maupin and Damian talk Burning Man, the ethics of Googling for literary research and…Twat Cozies?

“I love the idea of having corrupted a very young Damian Barr”,  Armistead Maupin told us.

The literary world turned up on mass including David Nichols, Louisa Young, Vivienne Guiness, Jojo Moyes, SJ Watson, Reeta Chakrbarti and Dave Gilmour who sipped on Tequila and grapefruit cocktails.
