We welcome a very special guest in the shape of Paul Beatty, who talks to us about his Booker Prize-winning novel "The Sellout" in a fascinating interview. We also review Yaa Gyasi's "The Homegoing" in our debut novel feature. This month's blogspot feature is courtesy of Valerie O'Riordan of the BookMunch blog. With our usual studio team of novelists Mike Gayle, Catherine O'Flynn, Waterstone's bookseller Stuart Bartholomew and Blake Woodham, we think it's the best Birmingham-based-book-bonanza out there. What do you think?
