George Saunders is best known as a writer of short stories. In fact, he's often considered to one of the greatest living short story writers in the world. In 2017, however, he took home the Booker Prize for his first (and so far only) novel – the startlingly original Lincoln in the Bardo. The book follows Willie Lincoln, son of Abraham Lincoln, as he succumbs to illness and ends up in the bardo, a limbo-like state between the living and the dead. This week, George Saunders joins James and Jo to tell us all about how winning the Booker Prize changed his life, his writing, and what makes a great writer.

In this episode Jo and James speak to George about:

  • What it was like to win the Booker Prize, and how winning affected his work
  • Why George decided to turn his hand to penning a novel – and whether he'll ever write another
  • The differences between novel writing and short story writing
  • How to write about historical figures without being trite
  • His popular Substack, Story Club with George Saunders, which explores the art of writing (and analysing writing)
  • Liberation Day, his latest collection of short stories
  • Why channelling one's charm is an important aspect of great writing
