When we write, we write in, from, about a place. Often the place itself, its atmosphere, becomes almost a character in the story. In this episode we hear from four writers for whom place is always an essential element of writing, whether a novel on Paris, or one set in the Home Counties, or the places on a twinned towns tour of Europe, or James Joyce’s Dublin. John Simmons from 26 conducts the conversation with his guests Vikki Heywood, Rob Self-Pierson and Mike Gogan.
