For the fourth episode of the second season of The Literary Edit podcast, I was joined by the wonderful Will Dean. You can read his list of Desert Island Books here, and the ones we discuss in the episode are:

The Road by Cormac McCarthy

A Kestrel for a Knave by Barry Hines

Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi

The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters

Underland by Robert Mcfarlane

My Name is Leon by Kit de Waal

Under the Skin by Michael Faber

Miss Smilla’s Feeling for Snow by Peter Hoeg

Other books we spoke about included Will’s newest novel, First Born, Trainspotting, H is for Hawk, Frankenstein, On Writing and Danny the Champion of the World.

If you’d like to buy any of the books we discussed in the episode, please consider doing so from the list I created on Bookshop.org, an online bookstore with a mission to financially support local, independent bookstores. If you’re based in Australia, please consider buying them from Gertrude & Alice, who deliver all over the country.
