38. Fiona Mozley: Awake Awake
Novelist Fiona Mozley grew up in the city of York and was Booker Prize-shortlisted with her debut novel, Elmet. Her latest book, Awake Awake, is narrated by Mary Mooney – also a novelist, also from York, and whose first book is also shortlisted for a major prize.
Mary is struggling with her memory. She has not too few recollections but too many. The most concerning are about her Jewish grandfather and his role in the death of Adolf Hitler.
She feels sure that what she has been told can't be true – yet there remains a doubt.
This event has a limited number of bursary tickets available for people who might not otherwise be able to afford them. You can apply here.
