The Moston Diaries

Set against the pebble-dash, red brick and granite of a shotgun grey Manchester, The Moston Diaries is a grain of sand disappearing into the quick-sand of living. In this short-term memoir Caleb Everett raffles off a series of entries from his diaries; a love-letter to the cinematic whispers of suburbia, the all-knowing of Northern OAPs in gabardine and an anarchic account of a queer art scene where bitchery flies like confetti at a wedding. It's a tale both with and without narrative that's redefining the diary as a 21st Century literary moment.
