243: Booker Special 2: Richard Powers, Patricia Lockwood and Anuk Arudpragasam

This week we’ve got the second of our special episodes focussing on the novels shortlisted for this year’s Booker Prize. Richard Powers reveals how a '60s sci-fi classic inspired him to create his latest novel, 'Bewilderment'. Patricia Lockwood reveals her close links to sight loss, as we discuss her razor sharp novel, 'No One is Talking About This'. And we take 'A Passage North' through war-ravaged Sri Lanka with author Anuk Arudpragasam.
