Notes from the Underground

Two of the most thrilling voices in contemporary fiction come together to explore the lure of excess, glamour and reinvention.

Joseph's 'Lean Cat, Savage Cat' follows Charli from Soho to Berlin as she falls under the spell of the enigmatic musician Alexander Geist and the dizzying dream of making him a Bowie-like star.

Lees' hit book and BBC series 'What It Feels Like for a Girl' tracks thirteen-year-old Byron's escape from small-town life into Nottingham's hedonistic underground, where desire and violence collide.

Together they expose obsession, fame and the terrible lengths we go to feel loved.
