Described by Hilary Mantel as “one of the best books I’ve read on the creative uses of adversity” Olivia Laing’s second book The Trip to Echo Spring is an investigation into the liquid links between writers and alcohol and was shortlisted for the 2013 Costa Biography Prize, the Transmission Prize and was a book of the year in the Times, Observer, Metro, Economist and Times Literary Supplement. This discussion event sees Olivia sharing her thoughts on the relationship between alcohol and writing in a Q&A session and reading from her book. Contact events@anthonyburgess.org to reserve places.
