4th Estate Books

On this episode we celebrate the best and brightest of May, taking a look at Laline Paull's novel 'The Bees' - the only debut on the prestigious Baileys Prize shortlist - and another debut from our stellar new author, Claire Lowdon. We catch up with Chris Wright on his travels around the world to find out what this century's heroes did after they reached the pinnacle, plus we persuade some 4th Estaters in the office to confess to the books they've never read, but always lied about... What?! Hilary Mantel's editor has never read WHAT?! And there's a sprinkling of acting. And a really good pun. That's it really. Enjoy!
