Over the past 90 years, Faber & Faber's authors have included William Golding, TS Eliot, WH Auden, Sylvia Plath, Samuel Beckett, Seamus Heaney, Alan Bennett, PD James, John Carey, Kazuo Ishiguro, Barbara Kingsolver, Sebastian Barry and many Nobel and Booker winners.
As the grandson of Faber's founder, Toby Faber grew up steeped in the company's books and its stories. He was Faber's managing director for four years and remains a non-executive director and chairman of sister company Faber Music.
He has written two celebrated works of non-fiction, Stradivarius and Faberge's Eggs, and now, Faber & Faber: The untold story, which he will discuss with Noelle.
Toby Faber is touring in New Zealand in July-August as a guest of the Decorative and Fine Arts Societies of NZ. He'll also talk in Auckland and Wellington.
