Very moving event last night @britishlibrary, where Arundhati Roy received the @englishpen Pinter Prize and named Alaa as this year's Writer of Courage. Alaa’s five-year prison sentence for a Facebook post ended on 29 September, and yet he remains in prison in Egypt. #FreeAlaa

‘I am what I write’ - Arundhati Roy #PENPinter acceptance speech tonight @britishlibrary is extraordinary - the very definition of ‘unflinching’ - Harold Pinter’s word, given vital expression as she condemns the genocide in #Gaza . Hard to listen to, essential. @englishpen

Exactly one hundred years ago Joseph Conrad, one of the best novelists ever, died at home in Kent aged 66. My late friend @rcwlitagency David Miller published a totally wonderful novel about it Today. I wrote a @NewYorker piece about what he got up to here newyorker.com/magazine/2017/…
