The Brightonians focuses upon the bitter rivalry and social one-upmanship that fuels the lives of a group of socialites who live in this far-from-quintessential seaside town. Already vying for supremacy of their circle, the chance discovery of a 50-year-old letter belonging to a local drag queen takes their sparring to hilarious new heights. Initially leading to them back to the saucier side of Brighton in the swinging 60s - what they ultimately discover is even more shocking - connecting one of them to the past in ways that no-one could have imagined.

Autorenporträt
Ex-advertising copywriter, Daren Kay, is the author of two works of fiction and the editor of a guide to copywriting. Winning over 100 industry awards - including a D&AD and numerous Cannes Lions - with campaigns for a diverse list of clients that includes Guinness, Unilever, Oxfam and the RAF. After 30 years working for some of London's biggest agencies, in 2016, Daren jacked it all in and carved out time to write about Brighton's vibrant queer present and past. Inspired by an exhibition he helped to curate at the city's museum, called Queer the Pier, and his adoration for E F Benson's Mapp & Lucia series of novels, he refocused his passion for words to write The Brightonians, a queer tale of life beyond the picture postcards and candy floss of this far-from-quintessential seaside town, which draws a group of bitchy socialites back to the saucier side of 1960s Brighton. Drag queens, gay porn, fancy-dress parties - what's not to love! With over 70 reviews and an average rating of 4.5 on www.goodreads.co.uk and www.amazon.co.uk quite a few people agreed! Fingers crossed they like how this band of colourful Brightonians cope with the biggest social science experiment the world has ever seen: the global lockdown.
