Pin Drop

Graham Swift is the Booker-prize winning author of numerous critically-acclaimed novels including Waterland and Last Orders. Here he is reading a short story from his recently published collection, England and Other Stories.

This recording was taken at a very special event organised in collaboration with the Royal Academy of Arts, against the stunning backdrop of the Academicians’ Room, which is normally exclusive to members.  For one night only, this stunning room with its high ceilings, original wooden panelling and striking art, opened it’s doors to Pin Drop’s audience.
