This spring, UEA Live welcomes Hanya Yanagihara, critically acclaimed author of the modern classic A Little Life. Yanagihara will be in conversation with Georgina Godwin about her latest work To Paradise – a bold, brilliant novel that spans three centuries and three different versions of the American experiment, about lovers, family, loss and the elusive promise of utopia.
The event will be followed by a drinks reception and author book signing.
“It’s rare that you get the opportunity to review a masterpiece, but To Paradise, definitively, is one… I’m not sure I’ve ever missed the world of a book as much as I miss To Paradise now I’ve left it.”
