George even composes a new ode to Laszlo in tweet form.Host Joe Haddow also speaks with writer and broadcaster Natalie Haynes about writing female characters and judging the prize in 2013 (and becoming an honorary Kiwi as a result).Last, but not least, we join musician, DJ and self-confessed bookworm Ana Matronic (of Scissor Sisters fame), who tells all about her love of reading and fascination with robots!This is the latest in the Man Booker Prize Podcast series, an exciting look at the very best from the world of books.Join the conversation at @ManBookerPrize and #FinestFiction.
