Reading by John Banville

This reading brings Booker-Prize winning novelist, John Banville, to York. Throughout his career, Banville has produced short stories, adaptations for theatre and film, as well as celebrated novels such as The Book of Evidence and The Sea. Regarded as the most stylistically elaborate Irish writer of his generation, John Banville is a philosophical novelist concerned with the nature of perception, and the conflict between imagination and reality. Like Beckett, John Banville moves fluidly from Irish landscapes and characters to European contexts and histories, and from conventional narratives into worlds of fable and distortion.
