Since his debut, the cult classic The Long Firm, Jake Arnott’s novels
have put queer characters right at the heart of bestselling fiction, and
his work has been adapted for television with spectacular success.
Arnott comes to the Bluecoat to talk about his writing and to give a special preview of his new novel - not published until Spring 2008 - The Devil’s Paintbrush, an astonishing story set in fin-de-siecle Paris which recounts the tragedy of Major-General Sir Hector Macdonald, the lost queer hero of the British Empire.
