Elizabeth Knox Part 2 - The Absolute Book

Tickets for the Marlborough Book Festival 2022 are on sale now. The Guardian praised 'The Absolute Book' as "everything a fantasy should be: original, politically engaged and teeming with literary allusion”. Elizabeth Knox discusses her inspiration for the story, the references within to other fantasy traditions, and important messages the novel conveys about reality and the challenges of current times. If you haven’t read the book before the session, we wager you won’t be able to resist after hearing all about it. Elizabeth was speaking to Jane Forrest Waghorn at the 2021 Marlborough Book Festival.
