“Boy
Friends is a love letter to friendship,” said Jackie Kay of Michael Pedersen’s
memoir. It’s this notion, the specialness of such relationships, that the duo
will dive into at Paisley Book Festival.
Friendship, the threads within, has been a constant presence in the former
Makar’s work, as Pedersen’s book captures a lifetime of friendships, some
fleeting, some everlasting, others gone too soon. What promises to be a magical
hour will invite you to think about the friendships in our own lives, the highs
and lows, their impact, and to hold those close to you ever tighter.
