I loved Maggie and I hated her, says Damian Barr

In his 2013 book, Damian Barr writes of growing up in Newarthill in North Lanarkshire, the son of a steel miner who lost his job in Ravenscraig. He was a Catholic in a Protestant community and a gay schoolboy at a time of Section 28 which shut down open conversations about homosexuality in schools.
