About this Event

In the 25th anniversary Angus Millar Lecture, our speaker will be award-winning novelist Andrew O'Hagan. He will address “Art, Literature and Truth in the Era of Fake News, Algorithms and Artificial Intelligence”, stressing how cultural heritage can be protected, passed on and re-imagined for and by each new generation.

Andrew O'Hagan was born in Glasgow. He has been nominated for the Booker Prize three times, was voted one of Granta’s Best of Young British Novelists in 2003 and won the E. M. Forster Prize from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He is editor-at-large of the London Review of Books and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. He is also a Visiting Professor of Creative Writing at King's College London, and Honorary Professor of the University of Glasgow's College of Arts and Humanities. His most recent novel is the Sunday Times bestselling Caledonian Road.

The Angus Millar Lecture, a highlight of the annual programme in Scotland, is funded by the legacy of Angus Millar FRSA.

This event is open to both Fellows and non Fellows. Please note a video of this event will be recorded by the venue.
