August's show is going to be a special live recording in Edinburgh on 'The Hound of the Baskervilles', we'll have an expert panel talking about Conan Doyle's influence on Crime Fiction. Recording 20th Aug, so we need ques by 15th [email protected] #books #sherlockholmes
Juhea Kim masterfully moves from moments of sublime beauty, to gut wrenching brutality in ‘Beasts of a Little Land’ - what did you all think of her insights into war and the minds of oppressors? Send questions [email protected] by Sunday to be on the show! #books #juheakim
Jade is one of my favourite characters in ‘Beasts of a Little Land’ - a resilient survivor, an artist, and a dreamer. What questions do you have about the characters in the novel? Email [email protected] by the end of the week and come on the show :) #books #juheakim #korea
The symbol of the tiger stalks behind every word of ‘Beast of a Little Land’. Fierce, beautiful, isolated - hunter and hunted. What do you guys think of the animal symbols in the novel? Let us know at [email protected] by 20th June to come on the show :) #books #juheakim
This week the world lost a literary giant - Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o. World Book Club interviewed him in 2019. An especially poignant moment is when he speaks about storytelling as a form of resistance, because it allows us to imagine a better future. tinyurl.com/4wjr7289
Beliefs regarding intellect and criminality are key for the characters trying to unpick the truth of the murders in ‘His Bloody Project’, but what do you guys make of the 19th century debates? Let us know and come on the show 6th June [email protected] #books #crimefiction
Hey all this is the last week to submit questions for Graeme Macrae Burnet. We record 6th June, so if you want to be on the show - [email protected] We’d love a few more questions about 19th century views on psychology and criminality #wbc #graememacraeburnet #crimefiction
Hi all! Announcing the next guest for World Book Club - Graeme Macrae Burnet. The book? 'His Bloody Project' is gripping exploration of murder in a 19th Century Scottish crofting community. We record on 6th June, questions in the 1st to be featured :) [email protected]
Homogenisation, blandness, soulless art - these are expressions of destruction in ‘The City We Became’. What do you guys think about that creeping kind of desolation? Email by Fri and join us on the show - [email protected] #books #nkjemisin #fantasy @HarriettSG
Sadly this week we lost the tremendously talented Jane Gardam. Her interview on World Book Club in 2017 is a delight to listen to, discussing the novel 'Old Filth' and how a fire nearly destroyed her first ventures into poetry writing. bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3c…
The Woman in White is an all consuming cosmic entity, and she is terrified of humans. But lay out our achievements like that we are scarily impressive. What do you guys think of seeing the enemy's fear laid bare? Email [email protected] by Friday #books #nkjemisin #fantasy
World building? N.K Jemisin builds universes within universes in so much of her work. We’re recording with her next week, so be sure to get any last questions into us by Friday 2nd May - [email protected] #books #wbc #bookpodcast #nkjemisin
Hey guys, we don’t yet have a lot of questions on the end of ‘The City We Became’. Want to ask about it, or how to go about crafting a series? Email in before May 1st [email protected] #nkjemisin #books #wbc @HarriettSG
We’re getting ready to welcome N.K. Jemisin onto World Book Club :) One thing I loved about ‘The City We Became’ was the sharp, sardonic humour amid the action and horror. What made you guys laugh when reading? Tell us by emailing [email protected] #wbc #nkjemisin #booksky
Another sneak peak of our episode with Abdulrazak Gurnah, this time talking about the power of the storytelling tradition, and the tales he heard on his travels that made it into 'Paradise'. #books #wbc #storytelling Listen to the whole discussion 3rd of May @HarriettSG
Last week we had a fabulous talk with Abdulrazak Gurnah, who answered our listener's question about his sublime novel 'Paradise'. Here's a sneak peak, the full interview is out Sat 3rd May :) #booklovers #wbc #bookpodcast #abdulrazakgurnah @HarriettSG
Exciting news! The next author to be featured author on #BBCWorldBookClub will be N.K. Jemisin! We're discussing the urban-fantasy love letter to NYC 'The City We Became'. Send us your recorded questions by May 1st, we can't wait to hear you on the show! #books @HarriettSG
Hey guys, our episode with Michelle de Kretser goes live tomorrow, I hope you all listen in. Here's another sneak peak where she talks about 'Scary Monsters' in the meantime :) #books #wbc #michelledekretser #bookpodcast #migrationstories
Yusuf is so innocent at the outset of ‘Paradise’ - naive, vulnerable, but also feels like a mythic hero in parts. What did you guys think of seeing the beauty and brutality of the world through his eyes? Send thoughts and questions, we record next week :) #books #wbc @HarriettSG
