Join us for an evening with highly acclaimed author and journalist John Lanchester as he talks about his new novel Look What You Made Me Do, a blackly funny page-turner.
What if the year’s most talked about tv show was all about your marriage?
Kate, thirty years into her marriage, has a seemingly idyllic metropolitan, North London life.
Phoebe, a young screenwriter, is the creator of the year’s hit tv show, Cheating.
When Kate’s world takes a darker turn, she thinks she sees details and intimacies in the show that only she and her husband Jack could possibly have known. But who has betrayed who? Who gets to tell whose story?
A black comedy of resentment and entitlement, Look What You Made Me Do is the story of two very different women from two very different generations, heading toward a battle only one of them can win.
John Lanchester is a modern master of funny, penetrating satire. We are delighted to welcome John to Oswestry to celebrate the publication of his long-awaited new novel.
John Lanchester has written six works of fiction and four of non-fiction. His books have won the Hawthornden Prize, the Whitbread First Novel Award, the E. M.
