It promises to be a unique opportunity for the audience to hear about Clinton’s personal experiences during a presidential race never short of controversy, as well as candid reflections on how she coped in the aftermath of the result.
It’s another big scoop for the London Literature Festival, who recently announced that Tom Hanks would be appearing as his only UK appearance to talk about his new collection of short stories.
Other highlights of the festival will include talks from Philip Pullman, Rebecca Solnit, Annie Leibovitz and Karl Ove Knausgaard.
Tickets for Hillary Clinton’s event will go on sale to Southbank Centre members on September 14, with the general public sale opening on September 15; southbankcentre.co.uk
