Authors From Home Tickets: Free Written in a Renfrewshire dialect and set between Paisley and Renfrew, Ely Percy’s new novel Duck Feet follows the life of Kirsty Campbell and friends, and the challenges they encounter at the fictional high school Renfrew Grammar. Published by Monstrous Regiment, and following Percy's debut novel VickyRomeo plus Joolz, it uses humour to deal with hard-hitting issues such as drugs, bullying, first love, sexuality and teenage pregnancy. At this event to celebrate the launch of Duck Feet, Percy discusses their own Renfrewshire roots, the research undertaken for the book, and their wider interest in working-class Scottish literature with fellow working-class author Julie Rea. |
