A new literary-themed East London club night, called Late Night Library Club, is being launched, with the first event celebrating Sarah Waters’ Tipping the Velvet (Virago). Late Night Library Club has been set up by the team behind The Amy Grimehouse cinema and arts club night that celebrates the “trashy, camp, cult and transgressive”.
