Richard Holloway (2018 Event)
‘Remember you will die’, said the slave to the Roman general. Richard Holloway’s new book, Waiting for the Last Bus, is a reflection on the final curtain we must all face. Thoughtful, engaging and often quietly moving, it’s a manual for dying elegantly and a plea to make the best of the days we have left. Join the good Reverend for a lighthearted look at death, and the lives we live before it in this event chaired by Jane Fowler and recorded live at the 2018 Edinburgh International Book Festival.
