Tales of the Suburbs: LGBTQ+ Lives Behind Net Curtains publishes in March 2026. John hosts the podcast Monstrosities Mon Amour, about loving the places other people hate.Luke Turner is a writer and editor based in London. His most recent book Men At War – Loving Lusting Fighting Remembering 1939-1945 is a critically-acclaimed account of masculinity and sexuality during the Second World War and how the conflict impacts our culture today. His first book Out Of The Woods, was a Guardian Book of the Day. It was shortlisted for the 2019 Wainwright Prize for nature writing, and longlisted for the Polari Prize for first book by an LGBT+ writer. He is co-founder and editor of online culture magazine The Quietus and has contributed to most major British news publications. The discussion will be followed by an audience Q&A and book signing.
