Diaries of Note 366 Lives, One Day at a Time: Shaun Usher

Shaun Usher is a literary phenomenon – the appointed custodian of letters, lists and now, diaries.

Diaries of Note is a daily celebration of the diary — one of the most intimate, therapeutic, and revealing forms of writing imaginable — and a regular opportunity to see how people have attempted to memorialise and make sense of their lives throughout the ages.

Join him in conversation with historian and author, Lucinda Hawksley, featuring actor Miriam Margolyes giving very special diary readings.
