Summary
On Restless Natives this week, another exceptional author. We've had Niven, we've had Welsh, but now the great literary heavyweight Andrew O'Hagan joins the clown and wolfman in studio.
From the wild streets of Soho to the even wilder corridors of the publishing world, Andrew talks on class divides, the art of writing, and his near-miss moments in Hollywood, takes us behind the scenes of his latest book Caledonian Road, the madness of Julian Assange, and that time he found himself in the Queen’s orbit.
