Beryl Bainbridge, Malcolm Bradbury, and Hilary Mantel help explain the difference between voice in fiction and voice in character, and how best to write something - dialogue - that you don't want to sound written at all. "Dialogue is not conversation" says Mantel. "We want something that represents real life, but that is not real at all." Presented by Russell Celyn Jones.
