Andrew McMillan’s debut poetry collection physical, an explicit yet tender study of masculinity in the post-industrial north of England, was a thrilling paean to young queer male experience in the noughties. In 2015 it became the first poetry collection to win the Guardian first book award; its successor, playtime, took the inaugural Polari prize for LGBTQ+ literature and was followed in 2021 by pandemonium. McMillan has now harnessed his considerable talent to writing a novel.

The novelist, playwright, essayist and poet Jon Fosse, 64, is this year’s winner of the Nobel prize in Literature. He is now set to become the world’s best-known Norwegian writer of contemporary fiction, perhaps even overtaking his former student, Karl Ove Knausgård. In his career as a playwright, Fosse has been hailed as “the new Ibsen” – borne out by the fact that his plays are the most widely performed in Norway after Ibsen’s own.

Forty years ago, during the baking “long hot summer” immortalised by the Style Council’s song of the same name, my teenage body started to undergo a mysterious, unwelcome and life-upending transformation. I’d just finished my O-levels: as a treat my mother took me to Paris for a holiday. One morning during our trip, I couldn’t get out of bed. My body felt as if it were pinned to the mattress by lead weights. There was also an unusual swelling forming at the front of my neck.

Taylor will be discussing it at Off the Shelf festival on 18 October 2023, 7:30 pm, at the Millennium Gallery. Tickets are priced from £7 to £9 and are available to buy from Off the Shelf website. In The Stirrings, a beautifully written memoir of girlhood, Taylor transports readers to 1976, the last summer that she would spend with both parents at home in Sheffield. The echoes of history haunt the streets of Sheffield, and the Yorkshire Ripper frames the backdrop of Catherine’s childhood.
