This chat starts with a book, and then develops into a conversation about how an author thinks and works, the battles with editors, and why finding dinosaurs is important. "I'm totally ready for the opinions of people I don't know, but I'm frightened of the opinions of people I know ... it's like being naked in front of an audience in a way, and it's much easier if I don't know the audience". #otherlivesareavailable #podcast #eastlondon #writer
