Velvet-Club Connecting Lesbians & Bi-women around the World

Paul Burston presents his eagerly anticipated fifth novel, The Black Path a dark tale of love and lies, obsession and betrayal. 'Helen has been holding out for a hero all her life. Her father was a hero but he was murdered when she was ten. Her husband is a hero but he's thousands of miles away, fighting a war people say will never be won. Then one night on the troubled streets of her home town, Helen meets a woman who will change her life forever. And when her husband returns home, altered in a way she can't understand, she is forced to draw on an inner strength she never knew she had.' Nominated for the Not the Booker Prize longlist and described by Alex Marwood as 'deliciously creepy and surprisingly emotional Burston has scored a blinder with his first crime novel'. Paul Burston's previous books include the critically acclaimed novels Shameless, Lovers and Losers and The Gay Divorcee. The evening will also showcase readings by Namita Chakrabarty, North Morgan, Alexis Gregory and Amy Acre, and the winner of the Polari First Book Prize 2016 will be revealed. For nine years the London-based LGBT literary salon Polari has showcased the best in emerging and established testimony to queer hearts and lives. Polari is currently touring the UK, funded by Arts Council England. Described by The Huffington Post in 2014 as 'the most exciting literary movement in London crackling with energy, ideas and excitement', and most recently by Boyz Magazine as 'hugely entertaining, thought-provoking and often very funny,' Polari won LGBT Cultural Event of the Year in The Co-operative's Respect 'Loved by You' Awards 2013.
