Philip Hensher: The Emperor Waltz

The Guardian called Philip Hensher’s ambitious new novel “majestic” and “a cause for celebration.” Find out why in this session, when Hensher addresses his novel’s setting which flips between 1920s Berlin and 1970s London, detouring to reflect on an early Christian martyr and a group of teenagers in 2014. This is a fantastic opportunity to explore the labyrinthine synapses of Hensher’s mind.
