Few writers read the temperature of contemporary Britain as sharply as John Lanchester. Across novels, essays and non-fiction he has made himself the indispensable chronicler of how we live now.
In this unmissable event, he discusses the inspiration behind his new novel, the shape of a career that has moved fluently between fiction and reportage, and what the storyteller sees when he looks out at Britain today.
‘John Lanchester is a modern master of funny, penetrating satire.’
GQ
