Graham Norton

One of Britain’s most successful broadcasters, Graham Norton hosts his own popular chat show on BBC1, a radio show on BBC Radio 2 and is the winner of eight BAFTA awards. He’s also an acclaimed novelist, and won the Irish Independent Popular Fiction Award for his debut, Holding, at the Bord Gàis Irish Book Awards 2016.

Set on the coast of Ireland, his new novel, A Keeper, is an equally compelling tale of family secrets and ill-fated loves. Will Elizabeth Keane finally solve the mystery of her father or does the thin pile of ribbon-bound letters at the back of her mother’s wardrobe just lead to more wounds?

Manchester Literature Festival is delighted to be joined by Graham to discuss his diverse career, alongside his love of stories. He will be in conversation with host Alex Clark.
