It was lovely.

I was interviewing her up in the Abbey Presbyterian Church down the road, so that was good.

Well, what I'm saying is it didn't feel like an ordeal.

I was absorbed in it.

There's two great little characters in it, and it's all set in the Depression-era America, and I really loved it, I have to say.

So, Clare, we're coming back to you.

This book is a short story that you're going to tell us about now by John McGarren.

Did anyone else read it?

I read it today.

Because you can go on The New Yorker and find it there.

Yeah, he published it in The New Yorker.

Mum, you liked it too, didn't you?

Thanks, Mum.

We'll stay with you for your next one, which is John of John by Douglas Stewart.

I didn't know we were going to be putting her to work now.

We just invited her as a guest.

I have to remind you all, some of you will remember, last year when we did this event, my mother chose flesh and said that she thought it was going to win the Booker.

Yes.

All the books are available here, right?

Thank you very much.
