Episode 5 - Fever Dream by Samanta Schweblin (or A Weekend in the Countryside by Samanta Schweblin)


Listen Later

Today we chat about Fever Dream by Samanta Schweblin, a tense and heartbreaking horror that investigates the repercussions of 'Soul Splitting' in the wake of agricultural poisoning in the Argentinian countryside. We talk tension in writing and how to guide readers through a story without even needing chapters, how to navigate the world of social media and publishing, and our novel takes an 'innocuous turn'.

The next episode of the BRBC will come out on the 26th June where we will be reading A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles, a piece of historical fiction that counts as book number 6 of Nick's 'favourite books of all time', as it seems that all the books so far have been his favourite book of all time.
