Our guest on episode 54 is Stephen Cox, whose debut novel Our Child of the Stars came out earlier this year. And he’s also part of an innovative new bookshop in North London that’s being run by a cooperative.
He and I talked about what makes the ’60s such an interesting time to set the novel, the importance of bookshops on the high street, what makes a great writers’ group, and more.
