S6 Ep61: Tom Crewe, novelist

This week I'm talking to Tom Crewe, author of 2023's The New Life , contributing editor of the London Review of Books and winner of the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award. I visited Tom in September at his London office, which is really more of a nest of books, and we talked about the strange emotional journey of publication; the wrangling of structure; the role of sex scenes and much more.
