Join us for an evening of conversation with Stephen Grosz, author of The Examined Life, to celebrate the paperback release of his latest book Love’s Labour. Stephen will be in conversation with writer and journalist Hadley Freeman.
Exploring the challenges, obstacles and huge rewards of two people surrendering to one another, the psychoanalyst and author of the acclaimed The Examined Life draws from various case studies to deliver a fascinating meditation on how we learn to love.
‘An exceptional writer and psychoanalyst … the poet laureate of human emotion’ – Elizabeth Day, author of How to Fail
‘A profound meditation on love and healing. Powerful and important. Essential reading’ – Tara Westover, author of Educated
‘Love really is a labour: that’s something they don’t tell you in the fairy stories or the reality shows. But Stephen Grosz knows a lot about the pain and joy of human relationships and in this book he generously shares his wisdom with the rest of us’ – Zadie Smith, author of The Fraud
‘Full of moments of revelation that stay with you forever … It would not be humanly possible for me to recommend his work more highly’ – India Knight, author of Home
‘Reading Stephen Grosz is a deep sort of pleasure, and this book’s movingly told true stories left me feeling wiser and more open to life’ – Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks
