SUMMARY:Nicole Flattery - 12 April 2023
DESCRIPTION:New York in the late 1960s: Mae escapes a run-down an apartment\, an alcoholic mother and her mother’s occasional boyfriend to a new life as a typist for Andy Warhol\, transcribing conversations with his friends and associates to provide the material for an unconventional novel. A mordantly funny investigation of celebrity\, obsession\, womanhood and sexuality\, Nothing Special (Bloomsbury) is itself an unconventional debut novel\, following on from Flattery’s acclaimed short story collection Show Them a Good Time. Nicole will join with James Conor Patterson in conversation on her writing and Nothing Special. \n\n …the thrilling sense of Flattery’s aesthetic and intellectual stringency is what comes to define her seemingly low-key enterprise here. You could almost imagine someone reading Nothing Special and not even noticing Warhol at its heart\, which may be the point of a novel that pictures the lives of his unseen instruments.Anthony Cummins\, The Guardian\n\n\n\n  \n  Speakers and performers:  Nicole Flattery\n\n\n\n  Nicole Flattery\nNicole Flattery is the author of the story collection Show Them A Good Time.
