Gregor Fisher, Scarlett Thomas, and a "lost" Ian Rankin novel
Janice Forsyth speaks to actor Gregor Fisher, plus Scarlett Thomas on her new novel set in an over the top girls' boarding school.
Gregor Fisher talks about his role in When the Grinch Stole Christmas, and his forthcoming Evening with Gregor Fisher event at Greenock’s Beacon Theatre.
Author Scarlett Thomas explains the ideas and personal experiences which inspired her new novel Oligarchy, a story about murder and eating disorders set in an odd girls’ boarding school.
And Damian Barr tells Janice about his new series for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Scotland: The Big Scottish Book Club.
In the Tuesday Review, critics Gayle Anderson, Neil Cooper and Boo Patterson visit new V&A exhibition Hello Robot, about robots in fiction and society; listen to Fibs, the new album from Anna Meredith, and the follow up to her Scottish Album of the Year winning debut Varmints; and read Westwind, a lost Ian Rankin novel that’s been out of print since 1990.
