The award-winning writer delivers the 2025 New Statesman/Goldsmiths Prize Lecture, asking whether the novel is still ‘the one bright book of life’.

For his talk Dyer goes back to the title source, to the claims made by D. H. Lawrence exactly one hundred years ago, in his eponymous essay, and look at how the novel – and indeed the reputation of Lawrence himself – has fared in the century-long wake of his pronouncements.
