Image shows promotional material for a Damian Barr author event, likely celebrating his book "The Two Roberts." On the left, the book cover is displayed, featuring a black and white image of a person lying down, with the title "The Two Roberts" in a bold, teal font above the author's name, "DAMIAN BARR," in a smaller, matching font. The cover also includes a tagline in smaller print at the top. The background of the promotional material is split diagonally, with a teal color on the top left and a textured coral/pink on the bottom right. Overlapping the coral section is the text "DAMIAN BARR" in large, bold, cream-colored letters, with "AUTHOR EVENT" underneath in a smaller, matching font. To the right of the text stands a photograph of Damian Barr, a white man with short brown hair, glasses, and a beard, looking off to the right. Above the text, in a smaller teal font, it reads "A 2025 BOOK TO LOOK OUT FOR IN THE OBSERVER, THE GUARDIAN, THE HERALD AND THE BBC."
