A Brief History of Seven Killings

Martha Kearney talks to the novelist and winner of the 2015 Man Booker Prize.

“It’s like a Tarantino remake of The Harder They Come but with a soundtrack by Bob Marley and a script by Oliver Stone and William Faulkner, with maybe a little creative boost from some primo ganja. It’s epic in every sense of that word: sweeping, mythic, over-the-top, colossal and dizzyingly complex. It’s also raw, dense, violent, scalding, darkly comic, exhilarating and exhausting – a testament to Mr. James’ vaulting ambition and prodigious talent.” New York Times

This event will be recorded for broadcast on 鶹Լ World News programme Talking Books.
