How does a writer begin to evoke the experience of conflict for their readers? What are the ethical implications of trying to bring a real war zone to life on the page? Is one way of writing about war better than another?

These questions, among many others, will be discussed at this Faber Members event with Christina Lamb (Farewell Kabul, The Sewing Circles of Herat), Harry Parker (Anatomy of a Soldier) and Owen Sheers (Resistance, I Saw a Man). Each one of these writers has taken a different approach to writing about conflict – through reportage, fiction, drama and poetry – and have come at the subject from a variety of perspectives and experiences – whether as a journalist, a former serviceman or a novelist and poet.

Don’t miss this opportunity to join them for this very special evening of thought-provoking debate and discussion on this essential topic.
