Man Booker shortlistee A.D. Miller @ Chalfont St Giles Library, 27 October 2011

This Thursday evening, A.D. Miller will be reading from his Man Booker shortlisted debut novel SNOWDROPS at the Chalfont St Giles Reading Room on the High Street. 
The evening will begin at 8pm, with refreshments provided.
 
Snowdrops. That’s what the Russians call them – the bodies that float up into the light in the thaw. Drunks, most of them, and homeless people who just give up and lie down in the whiteness, and murder victims hidden in the drifts by their killers.

 Born in London in 1974, A.D. MILLER studied literature at Cambridge and Princeton. He worked as a TV producer before joining The Economist. From 2004 to 2007 he was the magazine's Moscow correspondent, travelling widely across Russia and the former Soviet Union. He is the author of the acclaimed family history The Earl of Petticoat Lane (Wm. Heinemann, 2006); Snowdrops is his first novel.

A.D Miller @ Edinburgh International Book Festival

WHAT IS GOING ON IN RUSSIA?
With Andy Kurkov

A D Miller was the Economist’s Moscow correspondent for three years and Snowdrops is a riveting psychological drama that asks whether Moscow is corrupt, or whether a young English visitor is merely asking to be corrupted. Snowdrops has recently been longlisted for the Man Booker Prize and the CWA Gold Dagger Award, with shortlists for both awards to be announced in the coming weeks.
