Day is the new novel from Pulitzer-prize winning author of The Hours, Michael Cunningham. A searing, exquisitely crafted meditation on love and loss which holds a family at its centre who are struggling to live together, and be apart.
The narrative visits the family on the same day over the course of three years when changes are wrought all around them over the course of the pandemic.
Join us for a conversation between Michael Cunningham and the remarkable writer Tash Aw as they navigate a text which is at once profoundly intimate and global in scope.

‘Few writers capture the crazy contradictions of modern life with as much clarity and wisdom as Michael Cunningham. Day glows beauty and energy; its characters slip off the page and into your life’ – Tash Aw
