Talking to Book People About Books (and Other Stuff): Series 1, Episode 12 with Ben Fountain

Welcome to “Talking to Book People about Books (and Other Stuff)” in which we chat to author friends old and new, and other bookish folk too, about how they’ve been getting on in this oddball 2020 world, how isolation has affected their reading and writing and, frankly, about anything else that crops up.

In Episode 12 we talk to Ben Fountain, author of ‘Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk.’ Nic and Ben discuss small businesses, Ben’s characters, and how well (or badly) the American government is tackling Covid 19.
