An Evening with James Cahill

Join the incredibly talented James Cahill as he discusses his novel Tiepolo Blue – an exquisite mid-life coming -of-age story charting one man's sexual awakening and his spectacular fall from grace in 1990s London. Initially set in Peterhouse College Cambridge in 1994, this novel raises timely questions about art and beauty, sex and censure.

He'll be in conversation with British classicist and art historian Caroline Vout.
