Book Launch ‘Any Other Mouth’ by Annaliese Mackintosh
Published by Freight Books
Thursday 19th June, 2014
Mono, 12 Kings Court, Glasgow G1 5RB
FREE EVENT. ALL WELCOME.
An interlinked short story collection that Annaliese has been working on for the last four years.
Here’s the blurb off the back of the book:’How do you react when you discover your boyfriend is cheating on you with his dead grandma? Which lullaby helps you date two guys at once? What’s the best way to deface a doctor’s leaflet on bereavement? And what is this Borderline Personality Disorder people keep telling you about? In this revealing mix of fact and fiction, Anneliese Mackintosh takes her most intense formative experiences and reimagines them in these profound, playful and poignant tales. Any Other Mouth is a viciously funny, gut-wrenching and shockingly frank account of sexual misadventure, familial disintegration, loss, hope and self-discovery.’ (More here: http://
Annaliese willbe reading from the book and a Q & A A session will follow. There will also be readings from two of her favourite Scottish writers, and one of her favourite bands:

He is also winner of the Glenfiddich Writer of the Year Award 2103. http://ewanmorrison.com/
