Willy Vlautin’s got a new book coming out, it’s called The Free, and it’s being published by Faber on 30 January. I’ve read it, it’s brilliant, perhaps his best and I’m a fan. There’s a launch at Rough Trade East on the day of release. Willy will be doing some reading and chatting about the book with Sarah Hall. Sounds like a good night to me. Find out more about it here.

Willy will also be appearing at The Manchester Literature Festival on 31 January. More info here.
