Duration: 60 minutes
Having made her name as a peerless translator of works including Olga Tokarczuk’s Man Booker International winner Flights, Jennifer Croft has turned her talented hand to writing fiction. Her debut novel is a paranoid, hallucinatory tale about the deceptive qualities of language. Replete with an ancient forest, a global ensemble of characters and a disappearing author, The Extinction of Irena Rey is an ethereal mystery not to be missed.
