Suite (212)

This week on Suite (212), Juliet talks to legendary writer and artist Stewart Home about the nine novels - including one of his own - that he has chosen and edited with Gavin Everall for Book Works' Semina series of experimental texts, 'in which the novel has a nervous breakdown'. Joining them are Bridget Penney, author of the first entry, Index (2008) and Book Works' Lizzie Homersham.
