London Review Bookshop Podcast · Luke Kennard & Will Eaves - Black Bag · 8 Jul 2026 podcast

Like, if he was just advertising, like, a great new soap, he'd be kind of OK with that.

Yeah.

Yeah, because he stands out massively.

So people comment on him and sort of engage him.

But it's not him.

So even when he like quite late in the novel, he gets beaten up and thrown in a canal.

But he's fine with that because he's like, this isn't happening to me.

This is happening to Black Bag.

This is something that Black Bag would have to deal with generally.

So it's not personal.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
