He has been Booker shortlisted three times, awarded the Costa Novel Award, the Impac Award and The Sunday Times Award for Literary Excellence, given at Cheltenham in 2019. Having brilliantly reconstructed Henry James’ final years in The Master, in his new novel The Magician, he turns his attention to Thomas Mann in a tale of unrequited love and exile set against the turbulence of 20th century Europe. Chaired by Daniel Hahn.
