is being written into a stage musical by my favourite living composer, Jason Robert Brown.
Can you please tell me some more about this?
I'm really fascinated to see how this shakes out as a musical because Les, of course, was very episodic in nature.
We're following Arthur from strange event to strange event around the world.
Really fascinated to see how they put that onto the stage.
Oh, look, I think you've totally unlocked it.
I'm glad you took that bar bet all those years ago.
And the result is that we have singing camels and we have this new wonderful novel.
It's called Villa Coco.
It's published by Scepter.
Andrew Sean Greer, it's always so much fun to talk to you.
On ABC Radio National, you're listening to The Book Show.
I'm Clare Nicholls.
And what if you took traditional Japanese folklore, mixed it with a bit of Pokemon and added a splash of bubble tea?
Well, you might get Rain Shadow Orphans, the first in a brand new fantasy series, which takes us to a high-tech empire where a band of orphans use a dragon's pearl to try to save the day.
The author is British writer Naomi Ishiguro.
And yes, she is the daughter of the Nobel Prize winner Kazuo Ishiguro.
But she's working in a realm far removed from her dad's creations.
Naomi, welcome.
