John Lanchester | Look What You Made Me Do
Sat 25 Apr 2026 | 6:00pm - 7:00pm
What if the year’s most talked about TV show was all about your marriage? But who has betrayed whom? Who gets to tell whose story? A black comedy of resentment and entitlement, Look What You Made Me Do is the story of two very different women from two very different generations, heading toward a battle only one of them can win.
Compelling, funny and vivid, Look What You Made Me Do is the latest novel from prize-winning writer and journalist John Lanchester, author of Capital. We’re excited to welcome John, a master of fiction, with this hugely entertaining comedy of resentment, entitlement and intergenerational-sparring.
Chaired by author Jo Browning Wroe.
