Organised by The Guardian
Join us for the very first online event with Damon Galgut, winner of the 2021 Booker Prize.
The Promise, Galgut's ninth novel, is the story of a white South African family navigating the end of apartheid. The judges praised The Promise as “a spectacular demonstration of how the novel can make us see and think afresh”, and compared it to the work of William Faulkner and Virginia Woolf.
At this live online event Galgut will be in conversation with Guardian writer Lisa Allardice and answering some of your questions.
Now in its 53rd year, the Booker Prize is one of the most prestigious literary awards for fiction in the English language. This year's winner was selected by a panel of five judges: Horatia Harrod, Natascha McElhone, Chigozie Obioma, Rowan Williams and Maya Jasanoff (chair).
