Glen James Brown & Chris Kohler: Soothsayers For Modern Times

Glen James Brown’s Mother Naked is set in 1434 against the shadow of the Black Death as an ageing minstrel arrives in Durham to entertain the city’s powerful men. Chris Kohler plays with Scotland’s creation myths in his debut novel, Phantom Limb. Weaving both sacred and profane, he probes at the very meaning of modern society. Both authors discuss myths, magic, and humour with Calum Barnes.
