United Kingdoma year ago - Prophet Song author Paul Lynch interview
I have listened to many interviews with Paul Lynch since he won the Man Booker Prize.
The questions asked in the interview on Across the Pond allowed the author to speak more openly regarding his book Prophet Song than in any of his other interviews. The interviewer focused on the most important aspects of the novel as well as the intent of the author in writing it. Very insightful interview!
