Field Ramble with Mike McCormack & John Patrick McHugh
Listen now
Description
Field sees the year out with Mike McCormack and JP McHugh. John's short story collection was the find of the year at Field HQ a beautiful set of stories about the fragility and cut throat business of friendship. If you're doing some last minute Christmas shopping this is a huge recommend. Mike McCormack needs little introduction. A multi award winning novelist, whose work is thrilling unconfined by genre. Mike's latest novel This Plague of Souls was published in October by Canongate and is part noir, part metaphysical thriller.  Huge thanks to both Mike and John for taking the time out to talk.  As ever  thanks go to Ian Hawgood & Huw Marc Bennett for the kind use of their music. The little dash of Christmas at the end is a reworking of the old John Prine classic Christmas in Prison by Emmy the Great and Light Speed Champion.  Big love and hoping for peace.
