An evening with Graeme Macrae Burnet in-conversation with Becki Pritchard

Description

Graeme Macrae Burnet’s propulsive, Booker-shortlisted contemporary classic His Bloody Project, reissued to mark its tenth anniversary, is a mesmerising literary thriller set in 1869 in a remote Highland community. His new novella, Benbecula, is a fictionalised account of a true crime that occurred in the Outer Hebrides just a few years prior. The events are reimagined through Burnet's lens with a focus on sanity, madness and violence, suffocating communities, and how justice and punishment are meted out in unforgiving landscapes. Both are characterised by dark humour and Burnet's brilliant writing and highly original style of storytelling. *Please detail any accessibility requirements, including BSL requests, on your booking form.
