We're thrilled to be supporting the amazing Lorrie Moore at Edinburgh International Book Festival on Wed 21 Aug at 18:45-19:45. "Celebrated for her dazzling short stories, no one writes quite like Moore; she has a knack of folding you in laughter one moment, then cutting straight to the heart the next."
