Join award-winning Brighton author **Michael Handrick** for a reading from his new book, **Difference is Born on the Lips: Reflections on Sexuality, Stigma and Society*,* at **Kemptown Bookshop** in Brighton on **Thursday, November 3** from **7pm**.

“I wish I had found this book as a teenager as what a difference it would have made to my life.” – **Damian Barr**

Moving through time and memory, from a rural council estate surrounded by snowdrop-filled forests, to searching for his sense of self across London, Italy, America and beyond, *Difference is Born on the Lips* sees Michael Handrick explore how his struggles with mental health and abuse were compounded by stigmas around class, masculinity and sexuality.
