Kate and Richard discuss:
- wanting to be a writer at four years old and writing stories for his sister
- getting his debut novel Death of a River Guide written and published
- writing a 'memoir' for conman John Friedrich which Flanagan went on to fictionalise in his novel First Person
- On structure and form: 'A novel without form is like a jellyfish, it lacks spine and movement. A novel should be a Great White Pointer - it has to move and it has to excite and it has to surprise.'
- Working around writing with a young family
- Collaboration with his publisher Nikki Christer
- The influence of Yolgnu writer Siena Stubbs who introduced Flanagan to the idea of a 'fourth tense' in Yolgnu language
- Richard's article and speech Does Writing Matter in 2016
- Donating prizing money (and the picture with Abbott!) and his father's philosophy on money
- Richard says there 'needs to be a culture change in this country whereby there is a respect accorded writers'
Richard's debut recommendation: The Tin Drum by Gunter Grass
