Anne Michaels & Stephen Dillane: Held

Held is Anne Michaels’ long-awaited, and now Booker Prize nominated, new novel – following on from the 1996 classic Fugitive Pieces and 2009’s The Winter Vault – exploring, in the words of Margaret Atwood, ‘war and its damages, passed through generations over a century’.

Michaels shared an extended reading from Held with actor Stephen Dillane, who played Jakob Beer in the 2007 film adaptation of Fugitive Pieces, and was in conversation with the evening’s host, Gareth Evans.
