Henry Marsh in conversation with Will Self

Marsh is the author of Do No Harm, an elegant and remarkably candid account of the life of the neurosurgeon. It was published to great acclaim and became a bestseller around the world.

Now retired from neurosurgery and with decades of experience pioneering medical advances, Marsh thought he understood illness – but nothing could have prepared him for his own cancer diagnosis. His new memoir, And Finally, is an honest, moving and luminous exploration of mortality, the mysteries of science and the brain, the beauty of the natural world and his love for his family.

He will be in conversation with Will Self, the Booker-nominated author of Umbrella, The Book of Dave and Great Apes. They will be taking some of your questions at this livestreamed event.
