À propos de cette écoute
The Two Roberts is a fictional reimagining of the lifelong love between working-class artists Robert MacBryde and Robert Colquhoun. They met as students at Glasgow School of Art in 1933. They fell in love almost immediately and rarely left each other’s side - meeting great success and bitter failure but always staying committed to art and each other. They were at the heart of a social set that included Lucian Freud, Francis Bacon and Elizabeth Smart - living an out Bohemian life, whatever the consequences.
Tender, bold and deeply personal, The Two Roberts is a timely love-letter to these almost forgotten queer Scottish pioneers, exploring what it means to discover your voice as an artist, to find love when it’s forbidden and to change the way the world sees. Prepare to fall in love . . .

'Praise for Maggie and Me: Shocking and funny in equal measure, and will have you weeping with laughter and sorrow' (KATY GUEST)
'The wonderful story of a remarkable man, Maggie & Me is heartbreaking and heartwarming. As gripping as a thriller, laugh-out-loud funny and deeply touching, this book will resonate long after you finish it. A triumph' (SJ WATSON)
'Out of poverty, brutality and prejudice, Damian Barr builds something riveting, touching and painfully funny. His account of growing up under Thatcher's regime defines the experience of a generation. At once personal and universal, Maggie & Me is a work of stealthy genius' (MAGGIE O'FARRELL)
'This amazing book tells the story of an appalling childhood with truth and clarity unsmudged by self-pity. It grips from beginning to end and leaves the reader elated at the fact that such experiences can be overcome and produce a man who can write a book so vivid, so unsentimentally forgiving, and so memorable' (DIANA ATHILL)
