John Lanchester

Part of a series where the most celebrated English-speaking novelists come to King’s to talk about another great art form close to their hearts.

With front rank writers addressing their love not of literature but of other art forms, The Joy of Influence, produced in collaboration with King’s Cultural Institute, underlines the energetic approach of King’s College London’s English Department to fresh approaches in the literary arts.

Author of the recent novel Capital and celebrated commentator on contemporary affairs John Lanchester will discuss the art of Gaming -- looking at how video games have taken over our narrative lives.
