Sixteen years since his Pulitzer Prize winning last novel, The Road, Cormac McCarthy’s long awaited new books, The Passenger and Stella Maris, have arrived. Johny Pitts takes deep dive into the pages with writer, Rob Doyle and literary editor, Emmie Francis. We can all visualise a photograph of our favourite writer. But why are they such compelling subjects, and what goes into a great author portrait? Johny talks to photographer Laura Wilson, who spent over a decade shooting the biggest names in the literary world from Cormac McCarthy to Zadie Smith to Gabriel García Márquez for her book The Writers. And Derek Owusu shares his Book I've Never Lend.
