Episode QS79: Caoilinn Hughes + Diane Cook (December 23, 2021)
(Recorded September 30, 2021)
Award-winning authors Caoilinn Hughes and Diane Cook took to the Greenlight virtual stage to discuss their recent novels, The Wild Laughter (winner of the Royal Society of Literature's Encore Award 2021) and The New Wilderness (shortlisted for the 2020 Man Booker Prize). Along with exploring shared themes of legacy, climate change, “generational robbery”, and the ever-changing challenges of parenting, Hughes and Cook bantered spiritedly about the mystery & process of writing and pondered together the impulse to build new worlds in fiction—to look elsewhere—in order to tell the stories we need to tell.
