Launch event for popular Bristol writer Mike Manson’s third novel, Down in Demerara.
Mike’s previous novels are Where’s My Money, which was featured on the BBC’s Books that Made Britain series, and Rules of the Road.
The new novel follows Felix Radstock as he is plucked from his humdrum job and dispatched to the forbidden rainforest of Guyana on a mysterious assignment. Only later does he discover the true purpose of his mission.

Exclusive collabs from Bristol’s favourite food vendors, available for one night only. Be first to grab your free copy of the EatDrink24/7 guide – plus every ticket comes with a free limited-edition beer can.
Set in 1999, Down in Demerara is a funny, charming and quirky tale of self-realisation through love, friendship and fear.
Fay Weldon calls the book, “A fast-moving and wonderfully funny (I laughed aloud a lot) vigorous and intelligent tale of an innocent abroad.”
