A Brief History of Seven Killings

Martha Kearney talks to the novelist and winner of the 2015 Man Booker Prize.

鈥淚t鈥檚 like a Tarantino remake of The Harder They Come but with a soundtrack by Bob Marley and a script by Oliver Stone and William Faulkner, with maybe a little creative boost from some primo ganja. It鈥檚 epic in every sense of that word: sweeping, mythic, over-the-top, colossal and dizzyingly complex.
