In this episode Miles is joined by Gillian Dooley (Flinders University, Australia) and Daniel Read (Kingston University, UK) to celebrate the Twentieth Anniversary of 'From a Tiny Corner in the House of Fiction: Conversations with Iris Murdoch', a collection of interviews with Murdoch from across her career, as well as to discuss the wealth of unpublished interview and conversational material in the Kingston Archive. We discuss what we can learn about her works but, perhaps more enticingly, the woman behind them.
Until the end of 2023 the collection is half price from the publisher using code JHOL23.
