Voters in the USA are on the cusp of a momentous election that has the world watching. At this potential turning point in history, we’ll explore the startling contradictions of a great nation. Four distinguished American writers will go to the heart of what defines our powerful neighbour. Peter Matthiessen’s new book has been hailed as one of the great American novels. In his crime fiction, George Pelecanos insightfully examines race relations. From the perspective of an outsider, Jonathan Raban’s fiction and nonfiction looks at American history and politics. Meg Wolitzer’s novels turn a discerning eye on contemporary marriage, sex and social issues. Join us for an unforgettable evening. |
