Description
In the final episode of this series Sam and Spencer chat with author Cynan Jones about his incredible novels The Dig, The Long Dry and Everything I Found on the Beach. Cynan conjures a deep sense of place and we delve into how he does it. The Dig is a big favourite in Field HQ, so if you're yet to read it, get it on the top of the pile.
We also chat with the wonderful Orla Fletcher about capturing her native Derry and the magnetic draw of childhood to the writer. We check in with Clive, one half of the brains behind the beaut Voce Books in Birmingham for a couple of recommends. And the episode is drawn to a close by poet Elizaveta Guryeva.
Thanks as ever to Kibrom Birhane for the use of his tune Maleda as our pod theme.
So, Merry Christmas. Big love. See you in 2023 xx
