The next Plum will be on June 5th.
Readers are as follows:
WILL HOLDER is an editor of the journal F R DAVID. Will is in the middle of writing his novel, 'The Middle of Nowhere', a rewriting of William Morris' 'News From Nowhere (An Epoch of Rest)', and will be reading some to us. Maybe from the middle.
