Radio 2 Book Club: David Mitchell
Author David Mitchell returns to the Book Club to discuss his new novel Slade House. Plus a brand new confession and listeners' oldies.
Bestselling author David Mitchell returns to the Radio 2 Book Club to discuss his new novel, Slade House.
Simon discussed David's last book, The Bone Clocks, back in September 2014 - and welcomes him back to find out more a book which developed out of writing a story on Twitter.
Turn down Slade Alley - narrow, dank and easy to miss, even when you're looking for it. Find the small black iron door set into the right-hand wall. No handle, no keyhole, but at your touch it swings open. Enter the sunlit garden of an old house that doesn't quite make sense; too grand for the shabby neighborhood, too large for the space it occupies. A stranger greets you by name and invites you inside. At first, you won't want to leave. Later, you'll find that you can't.
We'll also unleash a brand new Confession and play some of your oldies, plus Matt Williams has the latest sport and Rebecca Pike brings us the money news.
