David Peace (2014 event)
Yorkshire-born David Peace’s writing took an exciting turn with GB84, his ambitious novelisation of events during the miners’ strike. Later, Peace turned to football, first with The Damned United, a re-imagining of Brian Clough’s brief tenure at Leeds United, and then with Red or Dead, based on Liverpool manager Bill Shankly. In this event, recorded live at the 2014 Edinburgh International Book Festival, Peace discusses his work with The Scotsman’s own great Yorkshireman, David Robinson.
