Book Club #133 -&nbsp;A Room Above a Shop -&nbsp;A Room Above A Shop - Richard talks to debut novelist Anthony Shapland about his hit short novel/long poem A Room Above A Shop. They chat about growing up gay in a small town in the Welsh valleys in the late 80s and how that inspired this story, about how simplicity in writing can be incredibly complex, swirling around in cesspits of your own making, the tabloid reaction to homosexuality and how that is mirrored in today’s world, how a room above a shop becomes an escape and a place of freedom and how to stop the author intruding on the story. Excellent book, really interesting chat.Buy the book here - <a href="https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/a-room-above-a-shop-anthony-shapland/7774516?ean=9781803511603" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/a-room-above-a-shop-anthony-shapland/7774516?ean=9781803511603</a>Support our Kickstarter here <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/467836598/can-i-have-my-ball-back" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/467836598/can-i-have-my-ball-back</a>To see Rich on tour head here&nbsp;<a href="http://richardherring.com/ballback/tour" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://richardherring.com/ballback/tour</a> Become a member at <a target="_blank" rel="payment" href="https://plus.acast.com/s/rhlstp">https://plus.acast.com/s/rhlstp</a>.
