    Hanif Kureishi

    On Boxing Day 2022, whilst in Rome, Hanif Kureishi fell after feeling faint. When he awoke, he realised he couldn't move his limbs, and life changed profoundly for him and those around him. What hadn't changed was his desire to write, and Shattered brings together the blogs that he began just a few days after that accident. We joined him at home to speak about that desire to write, the impact of becoming disabled, and what this change has taught him about human nature.

    After the completion of her seasonal quartet, readers will have been wondering where Ali Smith might take us next and it shouldn't be a surprise that a writer who had so successfully captured our present moment should seek to extend her gaze just a little further into an all too imaginable near future. Gliff forms the first part of a two book sequence, followed next year by its sister novel, Glyph. We sat down with her to discuss the process of storytelling, the nature of dystopia, and why she still has hope for our future.

    From his mega-selling debut, to viral superstardom and a career-renaissance that continues to this day, Rick Astley’s life has always been filed with music. We sat down to speak with him about first singles, making tea for Pete Waterman and why, despite the hardships, gratitude is so important.

    Sometimes you want a second helping, and so it is with Stanley Tucci. After speaking with him about his memoir Taste, we were delighted to chat again about his new book, What I Ate In One Year (and related thoughts). Not just a chance to share some of his favorite food, but also the importance of friends, family, and making the most of every moment. Pull up a chair and join us.

    Since winning the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize in 2015 with his debut picture book, Blown Away, we have been big fans of the work of Rob Biddulph. So when the chance came to visit his studio and find out more about not only his latest book, I Follow The Fox, but also about his process and passions, we leapt at the chance. Featuring foxes, imaginary friends and over two thousand post-it notes, join us for an uplifting conversation about children and creativity.

    Alan Hollinghurst

    With a narrative that stretches over seven decades, the new novel from Alan Hollinghurst doesn’t just give us the intimate details of a man’s life, but allows us to see the shifting tectonics of Britain’s social and political landscape from the 1960s to the present day. We sat down with the author to discuss boarding schools, an actor’s life, and the brutal power of micro-aggressions.

    Following her bestselling classic, The Suspicions of Mr Whicher, ⁠Kate Summerscale now transports the reader to 1950s Britain and the murders at Rillington Place, in The Peepshow. We spoke with her about using her journalistic skills to uncover new theories, the drive to understand the motivations of murderous men, and how individual cases can serve as a window onto society as a whole.

    The ability to appreciate even the smallest moments of joy in our busy lives can be the difference between just another day and a truly memorable one. This spirit infuses the latest book from Nigel Slater, a collection of meditative moments that touch all of our senses so we sat down with him to talk about the perfection of plain crisps, the art of packing a suitcase, and the warm hug of walking into a fragrant kitchen.
