I’m pretty excited to be launching Pat Grant’s graphic novel, Blue, this Thursday at Readings.

Over the last two (or three?) years, I’ve watched Blue gestate from an idea into a plan, from a plan into a project, and on to become a staggering odyssey, in which I’ve played but a small part. Pat’s commitment knows no bounds, and I’m proud to see the response he’s been getting: people posting photos of their pre-ordered copies; tweets bouncing around about his approach to publicity.

So please humble me and honour his efforts by coming to the launch. There’ll be drinks, an acoustic string band, a speech from Pat, some incoherent thoughts from me, and more drinks at Percy’s (possibly also a Percy Burger). See you there.
