Elizabeth Day talks to novelist and short story writer Sarah Hall about her latest book. Set around a pandemic with uncanny echoes of today, Burntcoat is a punchy exploration of love, sex and death. It contains many of the hallmarks of Hall's highly regarded previous work which have won earnt two Booker nominations and two Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ National Short Story Awards; imagined yet vivid northern landscapes, mother-daughter relationships and sensual creativity.
Also, Federico Andornino, of Weidenfeld & Nicholson, choses for his Editor's Pick next month a dystopian debut about the past, present and future in a divided America.
