Does satire help us navigate a political world that often feels stranger than fiction?
Prepare for an evening of razor-sharp wit as celebrated Guardian political columnist John Crace takes to the festival stage to discuss his latest work, Bonfire of the Insanities . With the trademark humour and humane scepticism that have made his writing so beloved, Crace will dissect the dizzying theatre of public life - where scandal outpaces common sense, yesterdays certainty becomes todays punchline, and we collectively try to keep our footing amid the noise.
Talking to Clare Clark
I love his cleverness, his wit, and his heart. NIGELLA LAWSON
