Available for over a year

Michael Cunningham speaks to Johny Pitts about his new novel, Day: a portrait of an unconventional Brooklyn family on one day in each of three consecutive years - facing a love triangle of sorts, a questioning of direction, and the pandemic's influence on all their lives. Novelist Helen Oyeyemi talks about her new novel, The Parasol And The Axe, a 'love letter' to her adopted home of Prague. And we hear more about writing from the Czech capital with editor Jan Zikmund on The Book Of Prague: A City In Short Fiction. And weathering the whodunnit, BBC New Generation Thinker and author Oskar Jensen shares his favourite meterological moments in crime and thriller novels.
