This month we have been reading Nova Scotia House by Charlie
Porter. I totally fell in love with this book which follows a gay
couple called Johnny and Jerry in the 90s, as Jerry lives his final
days. He is a victim of the AIDS crisis, and this book is both a
celebration of his life. We continue to follow Johnny in the
present day after Jerry has passed, with a few appearances from
Gareth, Jerry’s best friend. We see what Jerry’s life could have
been like if he had survived, like Gareth, and what his life
could’ve been like if we was born a generation later, like Johnny.
It’s moving and it’s so heartfelt, but also experimental in its
writing style. For me, this book was a total triumph, I utterly
adored it and I’m thrilled to be talking to Charlie Porter, its
author today. Charlie is also a fashion journalist and the author
of two non-fictioj title. His book Bring No Clothes explores the
clothing choices of the Bloomsbury Group from a philosophical
perspective, while What Artists Wear examines the clothes of
various artists. Nova Scotia House is his debut novel, so please
