My guest this week is Alice Slater, former bookseller, and author of Death of a Bookseller and Let the Bad Times Roll, which is out now in paperback. Alice chose Melvin Burgess’ seminal 1996 YA novel, Junk. We talk about looking at older books through a modern lens, unlikeable characters and second album syndrome as novelists. 

You can find Alice’s and my own books on my Bookshop page: https://uk.bookshop.org/lists/bookwandering-the-podcast
