To close this year’s festival we are delighted to welcome the masterful Ian McEwan to talk about his new novel, What We Can Know. A quest, a literary thriller and a love story, the novel moves between the present day and a climate-ravaged future – a masterpiece that reclaims the present from our sense of looming catastrophe, and imagines a future world where all is not quite lost. In conversation with author Alex Preston.
