Description

In this latest Faber Podcast, recorded in March 2011, our interviewer George Miller meets Edna O'Brien, doyenne of Irish literature and author of numerous books and plays spanning a period of six decades. Edna tells us about her new book of stories, Saints and Sinners, and reveals her writing methods, influences and a progress report on her forthcoming memoir. We also speak to Indian novelist Manju Kapur about her fifth book, Custody, which continues her familiar theme of the effects of globalisation and modernisation on everyday Indian people's lives.
