John Niven is one of the greatest comic novelists of his generation. From Kill Your Friends to Straight White Male to The Fuck It List, his books are laugh out loud funny but also tackle some of the darker themes of modern masculinity.

In 2010, his brother Gary died by suicide and John’s life changed forever. He joined me to talk about how he has tried to come to terms with this loss.

Trigger warning: this episode contains multiple references to suicide that some people might find distressing. If you are struggling right now, reach out for help by calling the Samaritans, day or night, for free on 116 123
