- **Event Description**: Acclaimed author David Keenan discusses his visionary new novel Boyhood, a joyful ode to youth, to dreams and to the magic city of GlasgowAbout this EventCult author David Keenan discusses his visionary new novel Boyhood, a joyful and magical ode to youth, to dreams and to the great city of Glasgow.A book of defiant, transcendent joy in the face of horror, Boyhood opens in 1979, as a young boy is abducted from outside a Glasgow football ground. Nine years later, the boy's brother, Aaron Murray, is on the cusp of adulthood; guided by an angel - perhaps imagined, perhaps real - and blessed with messianic visions of the past and present. His gift of sight spans cities and decades, from wartime Paris to the Troubles in the 1970s, Mexico City in the 1980s to - of course - Glasgow, as he joins the dots between a vast array of interlinked characters, all the while moving towards his own intense moment of redemption.Formerly a rock critic, David Keenan published his first novel, the absolute classic This is Memorial Device, in 2017. More acclaimed novels followed, not least the totemic and ten-years-in-the-making Monument Maker, plus self-made deck the Autonomic Tarot and a collection of Keenan's music writing, Volcanic Tongue, which came out last year. David will be discussing Boyhood with a fellow Glaswegian, Margate-based author Ryan J. Smith.
