Angie Thomas talks to Jenny Valentine

Thursday at the Hay Festival

The Hate You GiveDrop in on Angie Thomas, best selling author of The Hate You Give, having a brew with Jenny Valentine but keep moving without stopping through self-satisfied splitter Vince Cable being reasonable about various despots he secretly admires.

Definitely sit down with Rebecca Ruth Gould and Kayvan Tahmasebian who talk about translation as activism, the kind of subject a festival like this excels in making public. Where else? Nowhere apart from a university, in the canteen, if you’re lucky.

You could end your day covered in politician’s cum by joining the Blair/Campbell circle jerk, except Blair won’t come because he’s a Catholic and Campbell has already got his rocks off at the prospect at sharing digital space with his soapy master. Nasty. Strangely, the ‘chat function’ will not be available. Should the Hay Festival be giving a warmonger a platform? Only if it pulls in the punters, obviously.

HELP OUTSIDELEFT

Outsideleft exists on a precarious no budget budget. We are interested in hearing from deep and deeper pocket types willing to underwrite our cultural vulture activity. We're not so interested in plastering your product all over our stories, but something more subtle and dignified for all parties concerned. Contact us and let's talk. [HELP OUTSIDELEFT]

WRITE FOR OUTSIDELEFT

If Outsideleft had arms they would always be wide open and welcoming to new writers and new ideas. If you've got something to say, something a small dank corner of the world needs to know about, a poem to publish, a book review, a short story, if you love music or the arts or anything else, write something about it and send it along. Of course we don't have anything as conformist as a budget here. But we'd love to see what you can do. Write for Outsideleft, do. [SUBMISSIONS FORM HERE]
