Juano Diaz & Dominic Hoey: For the Dreamers and the Underdogs

This event brings two authors of heartfelt, electric works about coming of age when you have so much stacked against you. Slum Boy details author Juano Diaz’s life from a difficult childhood in Glasgow to discovering his sexuality and forging a successful creative path, while New Zealander Dominic Hoey’s third novel, 1985, illuminates poverty, crime, and dysfunctional family in Auckland with the author’s characteristic humour and style.
