Tell us about some of your recent discoveries published by Scribe and what makes each one so special.” “Tommy Wieringa - author of The Blessed Rita which you have published in Spring this year - is one of europe’s biggest selling authors. What is his magic ingredient?” “As voices from the margins have become louder, influencing the political mainstream, how has fiction written from an “outsider” perspective evolved and increasingly become an identifiable genre in publishing since you began your career publishing translations?” Presented by Georgia de Chamberet | Produced by Rupert Such
