Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet. I'm producer Mia Sorenti. For this episode we're rejoining for part two of our recent live event with novelist Julian Barnes. Barnes joined us recently at Union Chapel to discuss Departures, his new and final novel, and to reflect on a lifetime of writing as he marked his 80th birthday. day.
He was in conversation with fellow novelist Ian McEwen. If you haven't heard part one yet, do just jump back an episode to get up to speed. But now let's rejoin the conversation live at Union Chapel in London. So what's the last book you reread? Can you remember?
Well, on my the last day of my 79th year, two days ago, I think it was two days ago, I started rereading War and Peace. Oh. I'm fifty pages in. But before that, the last book I reread was a wonderful edition by Prue Shaw, his great Dante scholar, of um uh the commedia.
