J.P. Pomare Discussing 'The Last Guests'


Listen Later

Crime author and novelist J.P. Pomare appeared on the show to discuss his latest novel, ‘The Last Guests’. Topics discussed include:
- The inspiration for the novel.
- The dual mindset of home-owners – of living in inherently mistrusting times and therefore suspicious of strangers, yet still offering up their place to be used by complete strangers.
- Normalised ‘stalking’ behaviour – something that most, if not all, of us have done at some point – stalking people’s social media accounts to get an overall and thorough picture of them – also, the frightening ease in which this is possible.
- The various and disparate types of voyeurs exemplified within the novel – the justifications voyeurs give themselves to continue the behaviour.
- And so much more!
