Talks@Willoughby presents Michael Thompson

MainImage.jpg
A talented new author with a strong feel for the zeitgeist. Meet Michael Thompson as he talks with Anna Loder about his latest novel.

On the same day every year, everyone around Tommy Llewellyn forgets he exists, and he grows up enduring his own universal reset. That is until he falls in love. In 'How to Be Remembered' we follow Tommy’s poignant journey to build a life that is ultimately worth remembering.

Determined to finally carve out a life for himself and land the girl of his dreams, Tommy sets out on a mission to trick the universe and be remembered. But legacies aren't so easily won, and Tommy must figure out what's more important - the things we leave behind or the people we bring along with us.

Unforgettable, brilliant, and hopeful – this magical novel leads you to the things that matter in life.

'How to Be Remembered wears its heart proudly, earnest in the way of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button or, dare I say, Forrest Gump.' The Guardian

'Original, engrossing, sweet' Graeme Simsion, bestselling author of 'The Rosie Project'.
