Salon LIVE Online: Dolly Alderton with Damian Barr

Friday 23rd October 8-9pm (UK time)

Dolly Alderton goes deep on love, laughter and loss in her debut novel Ghosts.

Dolly Alderton really is our Nora Ephron – her observations, in her writing or on the High Low podcast, go right to the heart of whatever she’s trained her generous attention on. She makes us laugh and she makes us think and she reveals the profundity of seemingly everyday dramas. Her first novel, Ghosts, follows the runaway success of her memoir Everything I Know About Love.

In VERY exciting news you can now watch full Salon interviews, including the Q&A, with Salon On Demand! Don’t worry if you missed it live, you can still buy a ticket and access a special private YouTube film of the event. Now you can pause mid-thought to put the kettle on or fix yourself another cocktail. For just £5 you can watch anywhere, anytime, as many times as you like.

In our first Salon on Demand, Damian interviews SJ Watson, author of the global smash Before I Go To Sleep, about his dark new novel Final Cut. They also talk about breaking into publishing, being a working-class writer and how to plot a thriller.

SJ's jumpy new story is all about time and memory - how and what we remember and how and what we try to forget. It follows ambitious young documentary filmmaker Alex who wants to document life in a small village and finds herself mysteriously drawn to Blackwood Bay. Once prosperous it’s now run-down, and behind the faded facades there are more secrets than Alex could ever hope to find… Nothing exciting ever happens in Blackwood Bay – or does it?

It's a joy to have SJ back at the Salon as he continues pushing the boundaries of the genre he’s celebrated for reinvigorating.

Salon On Demand tickets are just £5 and available here. Enjoy!
