Chris Power talks to Atticus Lish, the ex-Marine whose debut won the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction. His new novel The War for Gloria explores modern masculinity and misogyny through the lens of Corey and his ill mother, documenting his troubled relationship with his father. Jean Rhys is best known for her adrift female characters in Wide Sargasso Sea and Good Morning, Midnight. Miranda Seymour discusses her new biography of this much mythologised figure and alongside Jo Hamya, guides us through the important work of the Dominica-born writer. Plus Booker-shortlisted Maggie Shipstead choses a book she'd never lend.
