Author Jon McGregor joins Newark Book Festival at The Hopbarn for an in-conversation event,
At this event, Jon will be talking about his latest novel, Lean, Stand, Fall. When an Antarctic research expedition goes wrong, the consequences are far-reaching – for the men involved and for their families back home. Robert “Doc” Wright, a veteran of Antarctic field work, holds the clues to what happened, but he is no longer able to communicate them. While Anna, his wife, navigates the sharp contours of her new life as a carer, Robert is forced to learn a whole new way to be in the world. Jon McGregor returns with a stunning novel that mesmerisingly and tenderly unpicks the notion of heroism and explores the indomitable human impulse to tell our stories – even when words fail us. A meditation on the line between sacrifice and selfishness this is a story of the undervalued, unrecognised courage it can take just to get through the day. Jon McGregor has been nominated for the Booker Prize for three of his novels, including his 2002 debut If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things, which also went on to win the Betty Trask Prize and the Somerset Maugham Award. So Many Ways to Begin followed in 2006. His third novel, Even the Dogs (2010), earned McGregor the International Dublin Literary Award in 2012, whilst his 2017 work Reservoir 13 scooped up the Costa Book Award. Doors open at 7pm, for a start at 7:30pm. Events run for approximately one hour, with Q&A plus signings. Books will be available for purchasing post-event and the bar will be open for drinks.TICKETS: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/newark-book-festival/newark-book-festival-at-the-hopbarn-with-jon-mcgregor/e-vegpgd
