The 2020 International Booker Prize shortlist episode
In our 2020 International Booker Prize shortlist episode, Joe Haddow talks through the six books on the 2020 shortlist with chair of judges, Ted Hodgkinson and judge Lucie Campos. They also discuss remote judging meetings, the need to understand their fellow judges’ ways of reading and their unique perspectives, and why there’s never been a better time to get stuck into books.Later on, we have a special recording from last month's launch of Hilary Mantel’s long awaited final installment of her Wolf Hall trilogy, ‘The Mirror and Light’. There, Joe caught up with the fiction buyer for Waterstones, Bea Carvalho, and Mantel’s editor, Nicholas Pearson, on all things Mantel-mania. Hosted on Acast.
