Patrick Flanery – Edinburgh International Book Festival

LIFE ON THE BRINK

Two Book Festival favourites make a welcome return. Patrick Flanery presents Night For Day, a McCarthy-era tale of Hollywood friends facing the blacklist before they can complete their noir retelling of the Orpheus myth. Adam Foulds, one of Granta’s 2013 Best of Young British Novelists, is back with his witty Dream Sequence. A young actor on the cusp of superstardom faces grave consequences for his pursuit of fame. They talk to Polly Clark about their new books.
