“The idea of society isn’t some Henry Jamesian world of dinner parties, it is being so good at being civilised that we want to let different people waft in, whatever their beginning in life.” – Andrew O’Hagan

From ghostwriting for Julian Assange to The Satoshi Affair and covering the Grenfell Tower tragedy, Andrew O’Hagan has had a life as storied as his characters.

After the runaway success of Mayflies – a rare and life-affirming novel that friends pressed into the hands of their loved ones, the three-time Booker nominee returns with another remarkable feat that confirms his reputation as ‘a peerless chronicler of our times’ (Monica Ali). Caledonian Road is a biting portrait of British class, politics and money, and another magnificent portrayal of male friendship written by ‘one of our sharpest observers of modern masculinity’ (Douglas Stuart).

Join the winner of the Christopher Isherwood Prize for Mayflies and editor-at-large for the London Review of Books, as he dives deep into the secrets, scandals and insecurities that haunt his work. In conversation with Michael Williams.
