Damian Barr's first book was Get it Together: A Guide to Surviving your Quarterlife Crisis. He interviewed 200 people in their twenties, showing that for most, their attitudes to work were their main source of anxiety.
He followed that up with his memoir, Maggie and Me about growing up gay in Thatcher's Britain. He talks to Kathryn Ryan.
Damian Barr is coming to New Zealand for the Dunedin Writers Festival and the Auckland Writers Festival.
