Welcome all to the first Unsound Methods of 2019! This month, we are delighted to be joined for a second time by Eimear McBride. In episode 12 we spoke to Eimear alongside Noémi Lefebvre but we didn’t have much time to speak to them before that evening’s event, so Eimear was kind enough to come to the studio for a more extended chat. Among other subjects in this episode we discuss Eimear’s process, experimental fiction and the role of the novel in modern life. Thanks again to Eimear for her generosity with her time. If you enjoy listening do add a review on iTunes. Find us on twitter @UnsoundMethods

Joanna Kavenna
In this week’s episode we speak to novelist and essayist, Joanna Kavenna. We talk about false starts, finding a narrative voice in fiction, researching a novel in the Arctic circle and dealing with Polar Bears, how literature can help us understand and limit technology before the machines destroy us and why we all need to take a more Wittgensteinian view of reality. Joanna is the author of the Ice Museum: In Search of the Lost Land of Thule and A Field Guide to Reality (riverrun, 2016) as well as three other novels and non-fiction essays.
