James Meek Interview




The Book Club show

Summary: James Meek is a British author and journalist who has published five novels and two short story collections, and has been a frequent contributor to The Guardian and the London Review of Books. His latest work is The Heart Broke In, which tells the story of a sibling relationship threatened by a potential betrayal. It's a page turning comedy-drama and at the same time a perfectly-constructed moral epic that delves into fascinating questions of religion, atheism, ethics, science, fame, and love. James Meek was in Australia recently for the Perth Writers Festival, and he joined Grace Nye to speak about the book. Originally broadcast on 14/03/2013. The Heart Broke In is available through Allen & Unwin.
