How do you expose emotion through writing?

Writers Alice Vincent and Charlotte Runcie speak to Thomas Morris, whose short story suite, Open Up, was among the most widely admired literary publications of 2023.

Thomas Morris is a Welsh writer who is the former editor of Stinging Fly and has been named as one of Granta’s Best Young British Novelists. In this episode, he talks about writing masculinity and articulating emotions, going further into a story and the pursuit of “knowing more”, and the strange lives of seahorses. Thomas also shares how reading defines his work as a writer.
