Clare Summerskill Clare (above) is renowned on the lesbian circuit for her brilliant and hilarious monologues. From Lucy, the loved-up girl about town, to Fennel and Camomile, who have downsized to a tepee, Clare's favourite characters have been brought together in her new book We're the Girls and we're delighted that she will be reading from it at Stanza. 'One of the funniest women in the country' - What's On 'A lesbian Victoria Wood' - Woman's Hour Drew Gummerson Your host Helen Sandler met Drew Gummerson (left) a few years back when she worked at the firm that published his first novel The Lodger. She loved the book and asked Drew to keep in touch. Now his new novel, Me and Mickie James, has caught the attention of everyone from the Guardian to Gay Times. This funny and offbeat novel tells the tale of a gay pop duo who squat in a store-room in Kings Cross Station before they get their big break... in Iraq.
