Neil Bartlett: Appearance

Neil Bartlett - our finest novelist - has a new book out, The Disappearance Boy.

Set in the tarnished world of 1950s Variety and the backstreets of Brighton,The Disappearance Boy is a masterful and dark tale of love lost and found and the secrets kept hidden away behind the red velvet curtains.

Here's a Soundcloud thing of Nelly talking about it recently at the National Theatre.

Thanks to Steven. x

• Neil will be in conversation with Julian Clary at Brighton's Theatre Royal on Sunday August 31st.
