‘Andrew O’Hagan has made more than a great book – he has made a social miracle.’ Joshua Cohen
Scottish author Andrew O’Hagan joins us to discuss his gripping new state-of-the-nation novel Caledonian Road with host Dave Haslam. Art historian and celebrated critic Campbell Flynn is beguiled by his provocative student Milo Mangasha who leads him to question everything he thinks about the world. Set against a backdrop of disgraced peers, human traffickers, rappers and a disgruntled sitting tenant, the novel asks questions about wealth, capitalism, the climate crisis and if it’s time for a new world order.
Andrew is a novelist and editor-at-large of the London Review of Books. Three of his novels – Our Fathers, Be Near Me and The Illuminations – were nominated for the Booker Prize. His previous novel Mayflies was a Guardian, Sunday Times and Financial Times Book of the Year and was made into an award-winning BBC TV drama starring Martin Compston and Tony Curran.
Dave Haslam is an author, broadcaster and DJ. His books include Life After Dark; Sonic Youth Slept on My Floor; Manchester, England and the Art Decades series. Sponsored by The Edwardian Manchester. Presented by Manchester Literature Festival in partnership with the Centre for New Writing and Creative Manchester.
