A remarkable book formed by a process of transcription, editing and collage. Sarah Hesketh has written a book that is an attempt to find hope in the act of conversation. An attempt at a reckoning with a particular point in history, from her own particular view of the stage. It is not a comprehensive work of history. But through the voiced experiences of real people who lived through this tumultuous time, it explores twelve key public events that occurred in 2016

It was the year of Brexit and Trump and also the year when David Bowie died and Jo Cox was murdered and the Premier League was won by who? There was a lot to talk about. 2016 is an innovative exploration of a pivotal year in recent history, told in the words of those who witnessed how it played out day by day.
