Description
In this episode, we were visited by one of Britain's greatest living novelists, William Boyd. Boyd's latest book "Trio" follows three characters on the set of a swinging sixties film set in Brighton in 1968. This zany film and its wafer-thin premise are rendered instantly obsolete by the spirit of the times. Boyd spoke to us about his retrospective feelings regarding the 60s, his career as a screenwriter, his thoughts on chasing the zeitgeist, and a little bit about James Bond! We hope you enjoy this spirited chat with a remarkable literary talent.Hosted by Ryan Edgington and Matt Hennessey.
