Hilary Spurling: Burying The Bones
In Burying the Bones: Pearl Buck in China, Hilary Spurling, one of the country’s most distinguished biographers, rediscovers writer and civil rights campaigner Pearl Buck. Pearl was the first person since Marco Polo to open China up to the West. She recreated the lives of ordinary Chinese people in her book, The Good Earth, a worldwide bestseller in 1932 that transfixed a whole generation of readers and won her the Nobel Prize for Literature. This event takes place at Prior’s Hall, Durham Cathedral.
