EP388: Ian Skewis — Memories and Fiction

Ian Skewis’s debut novel A Murder of Crows became a no.1 bestseller and was long listed for the Guardian’s Not the Booker Prize. Ian tells us how it all began with a traumatic incident from his childhood, how he developed the story in different media for many years before writing the novel.

Please note that suicide is discussed in our interview with Ian. If you don’t to hear about that, please skip the first seven minutes of our conversation.

We discuss…

  • Narrating his own audiobook, (which won an award!)
  • The elasticity of memory and how it inspires creativity
  • And how he’s been inspired to work as an editor…
