Literary Evenings are back in Devizes, and theyโre inviting you to find out how rude they can be, though there is no bidding for you to be rude back, yet there appears to be no regulations set, so Iโll leave it up to your own artistic licence….
For the record Iโm hardly ever rude, but the opening evening on 25th May at Wiltshire Museum, Devizes is at 7:30pm, on Wednesday 25th May. Devizes Books presents the evening, in which the subject of rudeness and impoliteness will be discussed and celebrated as an art, as written about by Saki, Mark Twain, Bernard Levin, Hunter S Thompson, and Jane Austen, among others. Thereโs a musical interlude, or should I suggest โinter-rudeโ by Lewis Cowen and James Harpham, nibbles and wine.

Tickets are ยฃ6 from Devizes Books, which is rude, perhaps you could shout at them as they go in! (Kidding!) They should consider the novel White Space Van Man by a certain local author if they want to delve into some deep-rooted rudeness, and not to mention, shameless plugging.
I can’t help feeling there might be some local councillors really into this event!
