It’s episode 192 with Nick Bradley author of Four Seasons in Japan, following on from his successful debut, The Cat and The City. We talk about the book-within-a-book genre, hardwork vs talent and how you can harness the power of failure.

Nick was born in Germany in 1982 and grew up in Bath. After graduating with a master’s degree in English literature, he moved to Japan, where he lived and worked before returning to the UK to complete a Creative Writing MA.

He has worked in a variety of jobs, including: Japanese teacher, English teacher, video game translator, travel writer, and photographer. He speaks Japanese fluently, and holds a PhD focussing on the figure of the cat in Japanese literature.

The Cat and The City was his first novel and his second, Four Seasons in Japan is released everywhere on June 22nd.
