Tash Aw & Alan Hollinghurst: Intimate Histories

One of our finest contemporary authors, Alan Hollinghurst's Our Evenings spans half a century, following its protagonist from his school days to becoming an artist, as Britain transforms around him. Tash Aw's The South, the first in a sweeping four-book series, tells of the longing that blooms between two boys as they and their families navigate great change. Two master novelists meet today for a spellbinding conversation. Chaired by Andrés N Ordorica.
