Duration: 60 minutes
Paul Murray’s blend of the comic and the cosmic is unmatched; his laugh-out-loud epics of modern life are as stylish as they are humane. In the Booker-shortlisted The Bee Sting, he regales us with the extraordinary story of a family and society on the brink of crisis. Don’t miss this exceptional author as he discusses the eternal themes and modern preoccupations of his work with Griffith Review editor and Skippy Dies obsessive Carody Culver.
