Jeffrey Archer & Abir Mukherjee: Writing to Thrill
Jeffrey Archer & Abir Mukherjee: Writing to Thrill
21 December 2018
Jeffrey Archer, one of the world’s bestselling authors, joined us at the Asia House Bagri Foundation Literature Festival on 1 November – the same day as the publication of his highly anticipated latest book, Heads You Win. It is his first novel in two years and his first stand-alone novel in a decade.
Archer was joined by Abir Mukherjee, winner of the 2017 Crime Writers’ Association Historical Dagger Award and rising crime fiction star. His third novel in his series, Smoke and Ashes, was released in June this year to rave reviews.
During the event, the pair discussed their approaches to writing, how they craft their characters and what they consider to be the key components of thrilling plot lines. The two authors also discussed their passion for India, which has been the source for a number of Archer’s plot lines.
This event was part of the Asia House Bagri Foundation Literature Festival 2018.
