Alexander Masters (2016 Event)

In 2001, almost 150 tattered notebooks were discovered in a skip
in Cambridge. They were a small part of an intimate diary that
began in 1952 and ended half a century later. It took Alexander
Masters five years to uncover the identity and real history of
their author. In A Life Discarded he shares the true, shocking
and poignant story of this mysterious diarist, and a stunning
final revelation in his pursuit. In this event recorded live at
the 2016 Edinburgh International Book Festival, he discusses the
book with James Runcie.
