About this Event:

God and money collide in novelist Alex Preston’s new work, The Revelations. Here he discusses the issues with clinical psychologist, author and broadcaster Oliver James. What are the consequences when money and religion collide? How does a novelist tackle these themes and what is the perspective of the psychologist? Is money the new religion and can it deliver us happiness?
Preston’s debut novel, This Bleeding City, was described as ‘the definitive novel of the credit crisis’. It won the 2010 Edinburgh International Book Festival Readers’ First Book Award and the 2010 Spear’s Special Award for Best First Book.

James trained and practised as a clinical psychologist and has worked for more than 20 years as a writer, journalist, broadcaster and producer. His books include Affluenza, They F*** You Up, and Britain on the Couch. The event will be chaired by Robert Collins, assistant literary editor of The Sunday Times.
