Colm Tóibín: Long Island

Thursday 23 May 2024, 7pm – 8.30pm GMT
The bestselling novelist will join us - live in London and online - to introduce Long Island, the sequel to his much-loved story of emigration and alternative lives, Brooklyn.

The billionaires creating a world that’s more unequal than ever.

The populist politicians spreading discord and misinformation.

The fossil fuel executives watching the planet burn as their profits swell.

The tech giants shaping a new world around us without scrutiny.

And do you know who does like us? People who believe in a free press. People who believe that the truth should be available to everyone. Does that sound like you?

The Guardian doesn’t have an ultra-rich owner. No one tells us what to write.

You might not agree with every word we publish but, with your help we can hold the rich and powerful to account. Whether they like it or not.

If you choose to support, it will annoy all the right people. It only takes a minute, and however much you give, all that matters is you’re choosing to support open, independent journalism.

Thank you.
