Acclaimed author Andrew O’Hagan joins Marieke Hardy to celebrate the connections that give life meaning.
We move through life in the company of others: childhood friends, kindred spirits and chance encounters that become lasting bonds. Some friendships are forged over decades while others arrive unexpectedly, changing us in an instant.
In Andrew O’Hagan’s celebrated genre-defying style, his new essay collection On Friendship draws on a lifetime of connections – with friends, writers, artists, strangers and even those on four legs – to explore what friendship can mean, and why it matters. Described by critics as ‘joyous’ and ‘heartfelt but intelligent’, O’Hagan employs his characteristic wit to capture an optimistic portrait of all the many ways people find one another.
Bring a friend and join O’Hagan for an intimate conversation about the bonds that shape us and the enduring value of friendship. With host Marieke Hardy.
Presented in partnership with RMIT University
