Carys Davies

Available for over a year

Johny Pitts talks to Carys Davies about her new novel, Clear. Plus, we discuss Annie Ernaux's Exteriors and the relationship between her writing and photography, as a new photo exhibition of street photography, inspired by her journal entries observing daily life on the streets and transport of a Paris suburb, opens in the city. We speak to the curator and writer of an accompanying book, Lou Stoppard, and to writer Lauren Elkin. And a literary postcard from Switzerland: Swiss writer Rebecca Gisler suggests that the heart of Swiss storytelling may not lie in its rich cultural centres, but deep in its mountain history.
