Take Nothing With You with author Patrick Gale - Author Event


Recommended Posts

Join Village Books for an evening of entertaining discussion about writing with one of the UK?s leading authors. Patrick is the author of bestselling novels including The Whole Day Through, the Richard and Judy bestsellers Notes From An Exhibition and A Perfectly Good Man, the Costa nominated A Place Called Winter and his latest, Take Nothing With You. And he was the author of the BBC drama, Man in an Orange Shirt.


Patrick?s sixteenth novel, Take Nothing With You, is a sad-funny comedy of resilience and survival that is sure to appeal to fans of Rough Music as well as to readers newly drawn to his work from watching Man in an Orange Shirt.


Patrick will be in conversation with Hannah Beckerman. Hannah is an author and journalist, writing features and book reviews for The Guardian, The Observer and the FT Weekend Magazine. Her new novel, If Only I Could Tell You, will be published next February.

    • So you're next line of attack is so start making it personal, carry on, eventually you'll get thrown out of here.  Thought you'd given up with me, but you can't let go.  Me and 2.86M people are all fed up with the pigs ear Starmer and his motley crew of things and want a change. The red witch has cast a wicked spell over the entire country and left us all in an even worse mess than before.  We need the wolf gone man.  
    • Must you be so humourless Jester?  you jumped on someone for a typo, so he was just playing with you   "t's Jazzer, not Jezzer." "Why does Starmer continually blame the last Govt, now for immigration figures, can't he get on with the job in hand instead of using the same old line blaming the Conservatives, it becomes boring, " a - because the tories continued to use the same line on labour 14 years after the 2010 election b - because it has the benefit of being true whilst opposition try and paint him as someone who should have fixed everything in 5 months when they hadn't done any of it in 14 years    Someone is a joke here but I doubt you will ever see it More seriously tho - he isn't WRONG to blame the last govt but he doesn't convince that he is going to do anything different Prime Ministers of any hue decreeing "we will drastically reduce the numbers" begs the question "how?" (assuming that you think it's a priority - I don't really -  But I get that many people get SUPER angry about this) But UK would need  to spend a lot of money setting up proper border posts and processing centres, move genuine arrivals thru quickly and work with other countries (again - major problem of Brexit and nothing Starmer says he will concede any red lines - so good luck with that) - National ID cards for everyone  would also help track arrivals but English people seems to be dead set against those What won't work is leaving the ECHR, throwing red meat to right wingers or cod-schemes like Rwanda
    • At least they attended and seemed to be doing something, and something is better than nothing. 
    • Large parts of the drainage and sewage system are in dire need of upgrading and modernising, and are unable to cope. The privatised companies are not going to invest what is necessary in this work. So we pay to have our parks converted into surface water storage areas.
