The best-selling author of Mayflies and Caledonian Road will discuss his latest nonfiction work: On Friendship. In a series of personal and uplifting essays Andrew O’Hagan explores friendship through music, poetry, memory and history. He reflects on the joy and importance of the friendships we develop throughout our lives – with people and animals, in childhood and adolescence, as adults and in the workplace. Some friendships span decades, others are fleeting. What they all have in common is that life would be unimaginable without them.
