In conversation with Josie Long

We are thrilled to welcome acclaimed comedian Josie Long to Deansgate in celebration of her first book, Because I don't know what you mean and what you don't.

Peppered with Josie's trademark warmth and wit, the stories collected in Because I don't know what you mean and what you don't feature quirky, richly drawn characters and delightfully unpredictable plotlines. From a cul-de-sac WhatsApp group discussing eggs to a group of teens convinced they're witches to a heavily pregrant woman who finds a way to time travel, each tale paints a life in miniature and offers an escape chute from the catastrophes of modern life.

Josie will be chatting about this stunning short story collection and  answering audience questions, followed by a signing.
