Author of the Booker prize-winning Life of Pi, Yann Martel joins us to talk about his latest work, Son of Nobody. Yann Martel is the author of a short story collection, The Facts Behind the Helsinki Roccamatios, and four novels, including Beatrice & Virgil and Life of Pi. Awarded the Man Booker Prize in 2002, Life of Pi was adapted for the screen by Ang Lee and garnered four Oscars. Son of Nobody explores how stories become facts, the price we pay to share them and how we live – then, now and always.

This event will be followed by a Q&A and book signing.
