This Thursday step into the extraordinary and mysterious world of Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author Susanna Clarke as she discusses her spectacular novel, Piranesi, with the one and only Neil Gaiman live and online exclusively for 5x15.

Susanna Clarke’s readers are no strangers to strangeness. Her multi-million copy bestselling novel Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (Bloomsbury), recasts Georgian England as a fantastical land of raven kings, ruthless faeries and reluctant sorcerers where magic lurks around every corner. Neil Gaiman called it “unquestionably the finest English novel of the fantastic written in the last seventy years.”

In her latest novel, the acclaimed Piranesi, Clarke weaves her richly abundant magic to plunge her readers into a new and mystifying tale. Enter the world of Piranesi, the lone inhabitant of the House. Day after day, he makes a careful record of the wonders of his strange dwelling place: its labyrinth of halls, the thousands upon thousands of statues, the tides which thunder up staircases, the clouds which move in slow procession through the upper halls until one day when his solitary existence is interrupted. Messages begin to appear, scratched out in chalk on the pavements. There is someone new in the House. But who are they and what do they want? Lost texts must be found; secrets must be uncovered.

Join us for what promises to be an unmissable conversation between two of our best loved, most powerfully imaginative writers.

Susanna Clarke's debut novel Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell was published in 2005 in more than 34 countries and was longlisted for the Man Booker Prize, shortlisted for the Whitbread First Novel Award and the Guardian First Book Award. It won the British Book Awards Newcomer of the Year, the Hugo Award and the World Fantasy Award. Piranesi is New York Times and Sunday Times bestseller, named again and again as a Book of the Year in 2020. It has been shortlisted for 13 awards including the Costa Novel, the Encore and Hugo Awards, and the Women’s Prize for Fiction 2021. The audiobook narrated by Chiwetel Ejiofor won the Audies Audiobook of the year. Susanna Clarke is also the author of The Ladies of Grace Adieu, a collection of short stories, some set in the world of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell. She lives in Derbyshire.

Neil Gaiman is the author of numerous New York Times bestsellers, including Neverwhere, American Gods, The Ocean at the End of the Lane and the Sandman series of graphic novels. He is credited with being one of the creators of modern comics, as well as an author whose work crosses genres and reaches audiences of all ages. His fiction has received Newbery, Carnegie, Hugo, Nebula, World Fantasy, and Will Eisner Awards. He is a creator of works of prose, poetry, film, journalism, comics, song lyrics, and drama. Gaiman is currently writing and showrunning both Good Omens Season 2 and Anansi Boys for Amazon, due to shoot simultaneously later this year in Scotland.
