# Event Details - **Event Name**: An Evening with Douglas Stuart - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 20 May, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Wed, 20 May, 2026 at 08:30 pm (+01:00) - **Event Description**: Join the Booker Prize-winning author of Shuggie Bain and Young Mungo to discuss his new novel, John of John.About this EventDouglas Stuart is one of the most successful writers in Britain today. He is celebrated globally for his honest portrayals of human relationships and working-class life. In 2020 he won the Booker Prize for his debut novel Shuggie Bain, a searingly honest novel set in 1980s Glasgow about a boy named Shuggie trying to save his mother, Agnes, from alcoholism and poverty. His second novel Young Mungo, a story of the dangerous first love of two young men, was released in 2022 and became a number one Sunday Times Bestseller. On May 20, Stuart joins us live in London for an evening on identity, resilience, and the themes of his new novel John of John. In John of John, Stuart returns to the themes of class, family, masculinity, and sexuality. It is the story of John-Calum Macleod, who returns to his childhood home on the island of Harris. Out of money and with little to show for his art school education, he sinks back into his old life, caught between the two poles of his childhood: his father John, a sheep farmer, weaver, and pillar of their local Presbyterian church, and his Glaswegian grandmother Ella, who has kept a faltering peace with her son-in-law for decades.Don't miss this opportunity to see Douglas Stuart live at Union Chapel, and ask your questions in the audience Q&A. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/london/an-evening-with-douglas-stuart/100001964090739273 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 18.04, max: 63.54, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: London - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Union Chapel - **lat**: 51.5447911 - **long**: -0.1025174 - **full address**: Union Chapel, 19b Compton Terrace, London, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: An Evening with Douglas Stuart - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/a0903ceb53d8460e9374f165115253d8e78ac34771b812bdb603f932415d5705-rimg-w1200-h600-dc334c42-gmir.jpg?v=1762633885 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is An Evening with Douglas Stuart being held? - **A:** An Evening with Douglas Stuart takes place on Wed, 20 May, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Wed, 20 May, 2026 at 08:30 pm at Union Chapel, 19b Compton Terrace, London, United Kingdom. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for An Evening with Douglas Stuart? - **A:** Ticket prices for An Evening with Douglas Stuart range from GBP 18 to GBP 64 depending on the ticket type.
