In this Dialogue, moderated by Eva Piquer, Henry Marsh will be talking about his memoirs, And Finally: Matters of Life and Death (Salamandra, 2023). Marsh explores what happens when someone who has been on the front line against cancer is faced with what could be their death sentence.

His first book, Do No Harm: Stories of Life, Death and Brain Surgery, won the PEN Ackerley Prize and the South Bank Sky Arts Award, becoming an international bestseller, translated into over thirty languages. His second book, Admissions: A life in Brain Surgery, was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in the biography category.
