London Review Bookshop Podcast · Wayne Holloway-Smith: RABBITBOX · 24 Jun 2026 podcast

the shadow puppetry and all of these things can kind of be pieced together and maybe create an environment in which the reader can also join in with the making of meaning a little bit yeah if that makes sense yeah no it does and we were talking about the mother and the chore i don't think this was it for anybody who's reading it but the chore but the

Well, I was just thinking, so... I was going to... Would it be all right if I just read a little bit of the mother's bit?

Yeah.

Do that.

So, I felt like...

the mother in this story deserved to be understood a little bit.

And like, you know, which is why I presented the mother in like a more chronological order than just this kind of flitting around of the son or whatever.

So you have like the one temporal,

uh situation is the looking at the boy or the rabbit's like situation which i kind of read a minute ago and then the other is like actually i just want to present some things of the mother's kind of build up an understanding of where the mother came from because i think

I have a working-class mum, and I feel like they deserve a lot of respect, you know?

I think that's what, I think, like, earlier on we were sat in the pub having gin and tonic, which is why I'm so lit now.

I don't know.

and we were talking about that and I guess like my point is we were talking a little bit about my girlfriend is like a faithful and brilliant person that's really driving my enthusiasm for having just had a book published and so she sees like she reads a lot of the kind of online things that are already being written and a lot of them have like

trigger warning or like this is about domestic violence or abuse or whatever and I think that that's probably for me it's like more of a backdrop I'd like I mean there's a setting and it's like certainly like a quite a difficult thing to encounter but that for me I found it quite helpful to understand as more of like a backdrop for what I want to be like a love story between a son and a mum you know

And so this is the first place.

I'll read a bit.

It's like every reading is about probably like seven pages.

Is that right?

Yeah.

I know we've only got a little bit of time and also I can feel my, how are we going to go for now?
