Information

The editor of The Spectator, Michael Gove, has been a prolific writer and author throughout his life. Since his early days in Aberdeen, he has combined writing with a knack for being at the heart of the public debate on the biggest issues of the day. After a high-profile career as a journalist and broadcaster, Michael served almost continuously as a cabinet minister under four Prime Ministers from 2010 until last summer. Why is writing so important to him, and as an editor what kind of writing inspires him? In this revealing event, he will talk to Michael Moore about life, politics – and the books that have shaped him and his thinking.
