My Life In Books with Red Szell

John Preston


Listen Later

This month, Red’s guest is John Preston, the award-winning journalist and author whose titles include "The Dig," "A Very English Scandal" and, most recently, "Fall: The Mystery of Robert Maxwell."
John has a gift for bringing historical characters back to life, exposing hypocrisy and subterfuge and for blending the tragedy and farce of human endeavour. He also has a wicked turn of phrase honed by his many years on London’s Fleet Street; of disgraced media mogul Robert Maxwell he writes, "His smile was like that of Richard III."
Join John and Red as they discuss larger-than-life characters, spectacular falls from grace and adapting the written word for the screen and audiobook. About AMI
