Ian Hislop talks to Decca Aitkenhead

My Life in Books

 – Global Stage

Have I Got News For You team captain and editor of Private Eye Ian Hislop comes to Hay Festival for the very first time for a special session on his love of reading. He shares the stories that kept him company during a childhood spent living abroad, and talks about the books that have inspired him and – as reportedly the most sued man in Britain – helped him to switch off after a busy day holding the powerful to account. Hosted by Decca Aitkenhead, chief interviewer for the Sunday Times.

Price: £20.00
