Man Booker Prize 2014 - Richard Flanagan

The Narrow Road to the Deep North, Richard Flanagan’s powerful love story, unfolds over half a century between a doctor and his uncle’s wife. The tale was inspired by the Australian PoWs forced to build the Burma Railway in World War 2 – which the author's own father survived. The Booker-nominated author talks to Newsnight's Stephen Smith.
