Event overview
Ross Raisin’s first novel, God’s Own Country, published last year, won a Betty Trask Award 2008 and the Guilford Book Festival First Novel Award 2008. It was also shortlisted for the Guardian First Book Award, the Dylan Thomas Prize, the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize and the Portico Prize. Ross has worked in the hotel trade to support his time first as a student, then as a writer. He still works as a waiter whilst writing his second novel about a Glaswegian ex-shipyard worker, whose life unravels after the death of his wife.
Tom Lee’s stories have appeared in Zoetrope All-Story in the United States, The Dublin Review in Ireland and Prospect magazine in the UK, among others, as well as being broadcast on BBC Radio 4. Greenfly, published by Harvill Secker in February 2009, is his debut collection. The London Magazine has called them ‘brilliantly ambitious’ and The Bookseller ‘beautifully written yet sharp stories.’
