Pity is the debut novel from award-winning poet Andrew McMillan exploring community, masculinity and post-industrialisation in Northern England. McMillan will be discussing the novel at this event. The town was once a hub of industry. A place where men toiled underground in darkness, picking and shovelling in the dust and the sleck. It was dangerous and back-breaking work but it meant something. Once, the town provided, it was important; it had purpose. But what is it now?

Set across three generations of a South Yorkshire mining family, Andrew McMillan’s magnificent debut novel is a lament for a lost way of life as well as a celebration of resilience and the possibility for change.
