Since the publication of his 2015 memoir 'Reasons to Stay Alive', Matt Haig has become one of Britain’s best-loved and bestselling authors, gently guiding his legion of fans on a path towards better mental health. Haig’s most recent novel 'The Midnight Library' became another hugely popular success for the Brighton-based author, in its creation of a fictional library in which its heroine could choose a host of possible second chances in life.
Now, Haig returns to non-fiction again with the launch of 'The Comfort Book'. Conceived as a ‘kind of companion book’ to 'The Midnight Library', it is a collection of things Haig has written down to comfort himself at difficult moments. Drawing on maxims, memoir and the inspirational lives of others, these meditations celebrate the wonder of living - and all presented with Haig’s trademark kindness and generosity. As Jeanette Winterson so aptly said: ‘Haig uses words like a tin-opener. We are the tin.’ Watch his event now and be enjoyably opened up by his writing. Chaired by author and screenwriter Georgia Pritchett.
