Anna and Annie discuss the 2021 International Booker Prize Shortlist.
Our book of the week is Mrs Death Misses Death by Salena Godden. This debut novel by one of Britain's best loved poets reimagines Death as a working-class woman who is a muse for Wolf, a troubled writer. Praised as 'fantastically imaginative' (Idris Elba), it's part novel, part experience.
Coming up: Detransition, Baby by Torrey Peters.
