"Shuggie was cancelled in Texas. I was supported by the librarians. A single librarian stood up and spoke out first. That took bravery and moral clarity.

Librarians are on the frontline. Support library unions, support librarians. It starts with them coming for queer books, then they'll come for them all. Wherever you go, if you see a library, support it."

US-based Shuggie Bain author Douglas Stuart in conversation at LiteratureXchange Aarhus Literary Festival

A terrible photo of a beautiful space. My bad and badly-lit snapshot. Looking up through a vast, high cathederal-ish room with rows of ceiling lights, over the heads of the first 20 or so rows of audience members, towards the stage in the Aula, the main ceremonial room at Aarhus University, Denmark. Visible in the distanc: Weekendavisens Literary editor David Turner and author Douglas Stuart in armchairs, seated before a huge high wall of windows with trees just visible outside. This was the official first event of the 2025 LiteratureXchange literary festival in Aarhus - the main festival is in June.
