Suzette Mayr’s title character in The Sleeping Car Porter is a queer Black railway worker in the 1920s forced to wait on passengers who don’t care enough to learn his name. Sheila Murray’s protagonist in Finding Edward is drawn into the story of a stranger whose life feels strangely connected to his own. In this online event, Sarah Raughley talks to Mayr and Murray about their stories of two extraordinary men and their journeys – both literal and figurative – of self-discovery.
