Description

Our love of Jane Austen should be painfully aware. But this week's guest might put our devotion to shame. The brilliant Andrew Hunter Murray hosts two hit podcasts: No Such Thing as a Fish (Andrew is also a QI Elf) and Page 94: A Private Eye Podcast (Andrew also writes for the magazine). He was also part of the UK's premier (and possibly only) Jane Austen based comedy improv group Austentatious - so his devotion to the beloved author is assured. Andrew is also a bestselling author, his first novel The Last Day, was a Sunday Times Top 10 Bestseller, and one of the top 10 fiction debuts of 2020. His new book The Sanctuary has been described as 'A brilliantly clever thriller' by Richard Osman. We talked to Andrew about Douglas Adams, fabulous first editions, the brilliance of Persephone books, rewriting classics, sex and science and, of course, Jane Austen.

Welcome to You’re Booked, the podcast for literary nosy parkers who would like the chance to snoop around their favourite authors’ bookshelves.I’m Daisy Buchanan, your Book Inspector, and I’ll be asking our guests all about the first forbidden books they read under the covers, the beloved books they have borrowed, and never given back, and those impressive heavyweight hardbacks that make them look like intellectual giants – even though they couldn’t get beyond the first twenty pages.We’ll also be talking about what makes readers into writers, how our guests became book lovers and their favourite reading memories, all with a dash of intelligence and a dollop of irreverence. Our guests include Dolly Alderton, Nina Stibbe, Nikesh Shukla, and many more favourites from our own bookshelves. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
