“As train crashes went, technically the Montparnasse Derailment of October 22, 1895, was a minor one.” So writes Emma Donoghue about the catastrophe at the heart of her latest novel, 
The Paris Express
. Technically minor, but in the hands of a brilliant novelist, a major event. Set on a single day in 19th-century France, 
The Paris Express
 fits whole worlds into the carriages of a train leaving Normandy—worlds surprisingly resonant with ours. Over the last 30 years, Donoghue—the bestselling author of 
Room
, 
The Wonder
, 
Learned by Heart
, and many other novels, stories, plays, and screenplays—has created an eclectic and award-winning body of work. Join Emma Donoghue for a conversation about 
The Paris Express
, historical fiction, striking details, and the art of the novel today.
Moderated by Nicholas Bradley
