Pat Barker: Toby’s Room

from Durham Book Festival 2012 Hosted by New Writing North

In her first novel in five years, Pat Barker returns to the First World War with Toby’s Room to explore damage, intimacy and loss in her most powerful work yet. Moving from the Slade School of Art to Queen Mary’s Hospital, where surgery and art intersect in the rebuilding of the shattered faces of the wounded, Barker creates a riveting drama. Pat Barker’s award-winning novels include the Regeneration trilogy, the Booker Prize-winning The Ghost Road and the recent Life Class. She was in conversation with Professor Sharon Monteith from Nottingham University. Event recorded Saturday 27 October 2012 at Durham Book Festival.
