192: Polly Crosby, Douglas Stuart and Avni Doshi

Polly Crosby leads us into the haunting world of her debut novel ‘The Illustrated Child’.    Douglas Stuart reveals how a childhood afflicted by poverty and addiction in 1980s' Glasgow informed his Booker shortlisted novel ‘Shuggie Bain’.    Avni Doshi discusses the themes behind her debut ‘Burnt Sugar’, reveals how it has changed her view on audiobooks and her delight at also being shortlisted for this year’s Booker. And we return to Polly Crosby for the Books of her Life.
