Simon Mayo's Books of the Year

Matt Haig


Listen Later

International bestselling author Matt Haig drops by the studio for a chat with Simon and Matt.
His new novel, The Life Impossible, is - in his words - "not The Midnight Library 2" - but it does share some themes.
Matt talks about facing fears and going back to Ibiza, a place where he nearly committed suicide and which held a lot of trauma. He talks about his fish out of water characters, why he doesn't like the term 'magical realism' and how he nearly stopped writing altogether to become a bookseller.
