Michel Faber (2016 Event)

The acclaimed author of Under the Skin and The Book of Strange
New Things reads from a collection of deeply moving poems
entitled Undying in this event recorded live at the 2016
Edinburgh International Book Festival. In tender, bittersweet
verse, Michel Faber grieves for his wife Eva who died in 2014
after a six year battle with cancer. His fearless poems present
brutally honest meditations on Eva’s death – and how it feels to
say a long, heartbroken, impotent goodbye. Chaired by Richard
Holloway
