International bestselling author and screenwriter, Terry Hayes, joins Zoe for a natter about his new novel
This week, Zoe is joined by international bestselling novelist Terry Hayes. His new novel, The Year Of The Locus, is our lates Radio 2 Book Club pick - and it's quite the page-turner.
It's been 10 years since Terry published his debut smash hit, I Am Pilgrim', but we think it has been worth the wait.
Zoe chats to Terry about what has taken his so long, the status of the film adaptation, his writing habits and if we'll have to wait another ten years for his next book.
