Booker shortlisted novelist, Damon Galgut, delves into the imagination of E.M Forster in this fictionalised account of the experiences that inspired A Passage to India. Chronicling the twelve years between Forster’s first trip to India and the publication of his masterpiece, Galgut explores the emotional journey that brought Forster to a profound understanding of himself and of the infinite complexities of human nature. Arctic Summer is a stunningly vivid evocation of the mysterious alchemy of the creative process.
A unique chance to hear one of the finest novelists of his generation on one of the greatest names in English literature.
