Edinburgh International Book Festival

Appearing at the Guardian Spiegeltent at the Edinburgh International Book Festival on Monday, 25th August 2014.

The event was chaired by Steven Gale, and involved Steven Galloway and myself talking about our novels on the theme of ‘fiction that blurs reality with illusion’.

Go and buy Steven Galloway’s book – The Confabulist – now.

Unfortunately, in answering questions, I managed to run afoul of some angry spiritualists in the audience. Sorry, spiritualists.

(And, as you can see from the photograph, I followed my mother’s advice: ‘when in doubt, pout’.)

Now go and vote for my book.
