In this episode I chat to author R O Kwon about her novel THE INCENDIARIES. We talk about the pain of losing her faith and how her yearning for God lit the fuse that would become THE INCENDIARIES, a story about characters pulled into a religious terrorist sect. We talk about the 10 years the novel took to write, how she dealt with the challenge of writing convincingly about fanaticism, and what it's like being a cool author. She also opens up about some personal creative quirks, and I actually ask the question 'what's your favourite letter of the alphabet?' because that is how a serious adult interviews a writer about literature. But I genuinely wanted to know! If you'd like a copy of THE INCENDIARIES with free shipping it'd be churlish of me to stop you, and I will in fact aid you - click this link to order it with free worldwide shipping: https://wordery.com/the-incendiaries-r-o-kwon-9780735213890#oid=1908_1 And you can read my novel, THE HONOURS, by ordering it here: https://wordery.com/the-honours-tim-clare-9781782114765#oid=1908_1 And oh, go on then - running this podcast costs me a lot of time and actual money.
