He lives in Dublin.The Weight of Angels is his NEW book!Tickets £22 book and ticketCouple ticket £32.00Access only £15The Weight of Angels is a marvellous conceit – a word Oscar himself might employ – a richly inventive multi-media novel of literary might-have-beens. Boyne is at the very tip-top of his form, and the book is at once highly readable and an intellectual treat for Wildeans and the wide world besides.– John Banville, Booker Prize winner of The Sea‘John Boyne is one of our best authors writing today. The Weight of Angels is wise, imaginative, funny, and extremely moving.Art and Life, Tragedy and Love, you’ll find them all here in this rich and magnificent novel!’Can one rash decision prove the difference between a life well lived and a life destroyed?When the Marquis of Queensbury left his calling card at the Albemarle Club in February 1895, it bore only his name and five words: ‘For Oscar Wilde, posing Somdomite’. The famous playwright sued for libel, which led to his arrest, criminal prosecution and imprisonment. From then on, his gilded existence spiralled into public disgrace and an early death.But what if he had simply ignored the insult?Rather than dying impoverished in Paris at forty-six, what if he had lived to bear witness to the momentous events and cataclysmic changes at the start of the twentieth century, and even influence some of them? What if the second half of his life were as celebrated, dramatic and tumultuous as the first?Like Maggie O’Farrell’s Hamnet and Percival Everett’s James, John Boyne explores one of the great what-if stories of modern literature, giving the great Anglo-Irish playwright an opportunity to take an entirely different path. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/3d76e650-b4c7-11f1-8735-773c5ddedb48-rimg-w740-h740-dca8a898-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/parkgate/best-selling-author-john-boyne-in-conversation-13th-october/100001999413041229 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes - Location: The Neston Club - Parkgate Clubhouse - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 16.96, max: 35.37, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Parkgate - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: The Neston Club - Parkgate Clubhouse - **lat**: 53.29246910000001 - **long**: -3.0784663 - **full address**: The Neston Club - Parkgate Clubhouse, Station Road, Parkgate, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Best selling author John Boyne in conversation 13th October - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/2516a025d9441bd670f8431999295f27a14213daa2fda89ce9a5ac65cc91e246-rimg-w1080-h1080-dca8a898-gmir.jpg?v=1788291966 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Best selling author John Boyne in conversation 13th October being held? - **A:** Best selling author John Boyne in conversation 13th October takes place on Tue, 13 Oct, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Tue, 13 Oct, 2026 at 08:30 pm at The Neston Club - Parkgate Clubhouse, Station Road, Parkgate, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Best selling author John Boyne in conversation 13th October? - **A:** Best selling author John Boyne in conversation 13th October is organized by Linghams Bookshop. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
