A special edition of Open Book recorded at the Edinburgh International Book Festival. Mariella Frostrup is joined by writers Raja Alem, Richard T Kelly and Benjamin Markovits and the director of the festival Nick Barley to discuss the place where politics meets fiction - from the overtly political novels of writers like Trollope and Michael Dobbs, to the way that fiction can challenge our pre-conceptions and open up new worlds for us.
