Michael Cunningham
Michael Cunningham speaks to Johny Pitts about his new novel, Day. Helen Oyeyemi on her new novel, set in Prague, and a new anthology of short fiction about the Czech capital.
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, 大象传媒 New Generation Thinker and author Oskar Jensen shares his favourite meterological moments in crime and thriller novels.
