Booker Prize Shortlisted author Paul Murray, author of THE BEE STING, THE MARK AND THE VOID, SKIPPY DIES and AN EVENING OF LONG GOODBYES.
Paul chats about:
- The role Ali Smith and John Boyne played in his journey to becoming an author
- How he writes all his longhand and how a first draft is a stack of loose sheets of paper
- Being careful about what you allow into your head when you are writing
- Whether he identifies as a writer of Family Sagas or State of The Nation novels
- The challenges and joys of writing multiperspective work
