Vincenzo Latronico & Ayşegül Savaş: Modern Life Under the Microscope

Leading lights of international fiction Vincenzo Latronico and Ayşegül Savaş join us with two very different novels, both subjecting millennial couples and their lives to the microscope. Latronico's International Booker-shortlisted Perfection delivers a scathing satire of aspirational consumerism, while Savaş' impeccable The Anthropologists is an intimate celebration of ordinary moments and watching life go by. Hear the authors talk about the modern pursuit of authenticity and how to live a meaningful life. Chaired by Adam Biles.
