Andrew O'Hagan is one of his generation’s most exciting chroniclers of contemporary Britain, and has twice been nominated for the Man Booker Prize. We’re delighted to be hosting a special online event celebrating his new novel. Opening in the summer of 1986 in a small Scottish town, Mayflies is a memorial to youth’s euphorias and to everyday tragedy.

O'Hagan will be joined in conversation by writer and journalist Jane Sullivan.

This is an online event and free to attend. Please book here, and you will be sent a unique Zoom link.
